**Wine Spectator’s #11 Wine of the Year**

Castello di Bossi Chianti Classico Gran Selezione 2020 offers a captivating sensory experience from the first sip. This red wine opens with an inviting bouquet of ripe red berries, such as cherry and raspberry, intertwined with subtle hints of violet and spice. On the palate, the wine unfolds with a harmonious balance between its vibrant acidity and well-integrated tannins, showcasing flavors of dark cherry, plum, and a touch of black pepper. The structured yet velvety mouthfeel leads to a lingering finish, characterized by a delightful interplay of fruit and savory notes.

This exceptional Chianti Classico Gran Selezione is a true reflection of its terroir. The vineyards of Castello di Bossi, nestled in the heart of the Chianti Classico region, boast a unique combination of altitude, soil composition, and microclimate that contributes to the wine's distinct character. The Sangiovese grapes, carefully cultivated in this picturesque estate, benefit from the warm Tuscan sun and cool evening breezes, allowing for optimal ripening and flavor development.

Critic Ratings

Wine Spectator Review - Rated 96:
There’s purity to the cherry, strawberry, rose, mineral and herb aromas and flavors in this solidly built red, which shows excellent balance and length. The muscular finish begs for more time for the beautiful fruit to assimilate. Best from 2025 through 2042.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate Review - Rated 94:
You drive through a postcard-perfect panorama of cypress-lined roads and sun-lit farmhouses as you approach the tiny hamlet of Bossi on the southern side of the appellation. The organic Castello di Bossi 2019 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione reveals a dark core of black fruit that is surrounded by flinty mineral, spice and black licorice. This wine should become even silkier and softer with more bottle age.

James Suckling Review - Rated 94:
Lots of blackberry, black-cherry and lavender aromas with some sage. Medium to full body, firm tannins and a fresh finish. Linear and polished red.

Wine Enthusiast Review - Rated 93:
Woodsy aromas of pine needles and underbrush blend with spices and herbs before a distinctive note of anise takes over on the nose. On the palate, herbaceous, earthy flavors remain dominant, joined by black cherries and finishing with the citric, astringent bite of orange pith.
