The estate's entry-level Chianti Classico DOCG, made from 100% organically farmed Sangiovese. Aged approximately one year in botte (large oak cask) followed by further refinement in bottle. Offers aromas of ripe cherries and red plums with subtle toasted vanilla and violet notes, backed by bright acidity, chalky minerality and a savory finish. The 2022 vintage earned 93 points from James Suckling.
This is the wine that proves Castello di Bossi's organic farming isn't a marketing footnote — the purity of fruit here is unmistakable even at the entry level.
