About this winery

Castello di Bossi is located in the commune of Castelnuovo Berardenga.

Tasting notes

Characterized by a lovely purple color with vibrant reflections. Well-defined aromas, predominantly of fruit, such as cherry and berries, enriched by pleasant spicy notes and hints of aromatic herbs.

(Vintage 2019)

Aromas of blueberries, plums, roasted meat and dried herbs. Medium-to full-bodied with firm tannins. Chewy and structured on the palate with chocolate notes on the flavorful finish. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold.

(Vintage 2019)

A chunky style, this red evokes a core of cherry and raspberry, accented by Tuscan herbs, tobacco and earth. Firmly structured, yet stays fresh and long on the finish. Best from 2023 through 2030. 33,000 cases made, 6,000 cases imported.
