Castello di Bossi Description

Winemaker Notes

#11 Wine Spectator Top 100 of 2023

Deep ruby in color with garnet lights that hint at the wine's extended barrel aging, Castello di Bossi Gran Selezione is explosive in its intensity and yet the wine manages an astounding complexity and finesse. Aromas of rich black cherry and plum integrate well with cedar, sweet cooking spices, chocolate and saddle leather. On the palate the wine is fleshy and dense. The finish achieves great balance and very pronounced length. This is a wine that will age with grace for many years.

Professional Ratings

96Wine Spectator
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.
94Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

This was once a Riserva but has now been promoted to the highest category in the appellation. The Castello di Meleto 2019 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Casi reveals a dark and rich character with black rose, dried currant, spice, cola and crushed stone. This vintage offers pretty complexity and does so with balanced intensity along the way.

94James Suckling
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.
93Wine Enthusiast
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.
