“The Castello di Bossi 2010 is a wonderful Chianti Classico. It simply screams Toscana in all aspects and captures the essence of the Sangiovese grape perfectly. It's a deep garnet with violet highlights - vibrant, intense and welcoming in color. Aromatically, the wine borders on profound. I realize that's a strong word, but it reflects everything I feel must be included in a Chianti Classico. There's floral notes, crushed wild red fruits, sweet pipe tobacco, soft earthy notes and wonderful Tuscan herb highlights. On the palate, the wine is concentrated and well balanced with moderate tannins and acids that keep the wine fresh and enhance its marriage with food. There's abundant crushed red berry with added notes of fennel, tobacco leaf and a soft hint of coffee. It's just an absolute joy to drink and it's also a great value. Stock up on this.”

“Black currant, herb and cedar notes lead off, while cherry and tobacco reveal more typical Chianti flavors. The dusty tannins hold court on the finish.”

"Dark cherry flavors and crisp tannins that suggest the snap of a dry twig-in other words, classic Chianti Classico."
