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.

“Opening to medium-dark concentration, the organic Castello di Bossi 2020 Chianti Classico Riserva Berardo offers a velvet-like texture with substantial aromas of dark plum and sweet cherry and moderate tones of earth and spice that are expertly woven within the wine’s fine texture. This Riserva offers good tannic structure with fine, powdery sensations to close.” — acclaim for 2020 Castello di Bossi Berardo Riserva from Wine Advocate, Jul 2024

“Made with 100% organic Sangiovese, the Castello di Bossi 2020 Chianti Gran Selezione Castelnuovo Berardenga is silky and fine. Although the overall fruit delivery certainly entails a good amount of power and concentration, the wine actually feels elegantly subtle on the palate. The fruit is nicely ripe, showing lots of cherry and dark plum, and the integrated tannins add firmness. Aging in large oak casks is in line with local tradition, and arguably what sets Castello di Bossi apart is the soil composition found here, with a mix of clay and tufo rock.” — acclaim for 2020 Castello di Bossi Gran Selezione from Wine Advocate, Jul 2024

“A very pretty Chianti Classico with dried cherries, orange peel, cedar, white truffles and chalk. The palate is medium-bodied with crunchy fruit and a flavorful finish. Hints of orange peel at the end.” — acclaim for 2022 Castello di Bossi Chianti Classico from James Suckling, Jul 2024
