Castello di Bossi

Brand Description

With a history dating back to the 9th century AD, the Castello di Bossi estate has evolved with the times. A dynamic team leads the estate and never shies from technological innovation, while remaining true to the terroir of Chianti. It is this balance that has been a key part of Marco Bacci’s vision as he has brought Castello di Bossi to the highest ranks of international wine. As the mastermind of Castello di Bossi, he oversees all operations, from beginning to end, with careful attention to detail. In the last 10 years, Marco has added two properties to his holdings: Renieri in Montalcino and Terre di Talamo in the Morellino di Scansano appellation.

Location of Vineyard

The Bossi Castle is located in the town of Castelnuovo Berardenga, the southernmost appellation of Chianti Classico, amid evergreen woods and long rows of vines.

Winemaking and Viticulture Philosophy

Marco owns one of the best collections of estates in Tuscany, and is creating high-quality wines from some of the top Tuscan appellations. Following in his father's footsteps, Marco's son Jacopo joined the company in 2004. First involved on the production side, Jacopo has come to be especially active in sales in the US and Asian markets.

Acclaim
Lustrous ruby with the beginning of orange tines/ Balsamic nose of black tea leaves and cherry and with a suggestion of oak. Supple concentrated cherry fruit with a dose of lively acidity and bags of chewy tannins. Long, juicy and tannic. — acclaim for 2022 Castello di Bossi Chianti Classico from Jancis Robinson, May 2025
Deep ruby with bright brickstone rim. Rich, dark and brooding on the nose. Lots of juice and stuffing on the palate. The fruit seems really ripe but hasn’t lost its lustre because of the juicy acidity and coating tannins. Quite a big wine, but balanced. — acclaim for 2021 Castello di Bossi Berardo Riserva from Jancis Robinson, May 2025
Castelnuovo Berardenga. Deep ruby. Firm, earthy and spicy nose with subdued fruit. Becomes more perfumed with aeration. Lots of juice on the palate but with still-embryonic fruit and long, finely ground tannins. Deserves more time in the bottle. — acclaim for 2021 Castello di Bossi Gran Selezione from Jancis Robinson, May 2025
