Castello di Bossi Rosato

Rosato Toscana IGT bottle image

Wine Description

Introduced in 2015, this refined and elegant Tuscan Rose adds a breath of freshness to Castello di Bossi's lineup of powerful and prestigious red wines.  Castello di Bossi Rosato is sourced from the Corbaia vineyard, which was planted more than 40 years ago to 70% Sangiovese and 30% Cabernet Sauvignon.  Every year, during the process of making red Corbaia wine, 5-7% of the juice is "bled" from the Corbaia tanks rendering the remaining juice more concentrated.  Beginning with the 2014 vintage, this juice is now collected and put through a cool-temperature fermentation in stainless steel tanks before being released as a dry, structured Rosato.

Acclaim
“A bright pink-colored rosé with aromas of rose petals, strawberries and watermelon. It’s medium-bodied with tangy acidity. Lots of fruit and flowers.”
— James Suckling, Jul 2021
“The 2020 Rosato is understated yet refined, notes of strawberry, crushed stone and sweet florals forming in the glass. Its silky textures wash a pure mix of ripe orchard fruits, minerals and hints of spice across the palate. This leans more toward the savory side through the finale yet tapers off rather quickly. The 2020 is a blend of 70% Sangiovese and 30% Cabernet Sauvignon.”
— Vinous, Jun 2021
