CASTELLO DI BOSSI | Toscana

Table 17

Rosato Toscana IGT Introduced in 2015, this refined and elegant Tuscan Rosé 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 a ratio of about 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.

Chianti Classico DOCG For owner Marco Bacci, success is in the details, from vineyard to bottle. The entire Castello di Bossi portfolio of wines carefully balances the tradition and rich history of the region with innovative winemaking techniqes; this Chianti Classico is no exception. Made from 100% Sangiovese, grown in soils with high chalk content, this wine shows just how good this varietal can taste.

VINTAGE: ______

Chianti Classico Riserva DOCG Berardo The Castello di Bossi estate is located in the commune of Castelnuovo Berardenga in the southernmost tip of the Chianti Classico zone. Berardo is a shortened way of saying, “It comes from Berardenga.” Areas further south in Chianti Classico tend to produce rounder, fuller versions of Chianti and this wine is a perfect example of this rich elegance.
