2020 Castello di Bossi Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Tuscany 6pk 6x750ml

The first tower of Castello di Bossi rose in 1099, a medieval fortress that watched over the southern hills of Chianti Classico for nearly a millennium. Florentine troops destroyed it in 1478; it passed through the hands of the Ricasoli and Ugurgieri families before being reimagined as a fortified villa during the Grand Ducal era. In 1984, the Bacci family acquired the estate and has quietly built it into one of the appellation's most respected addresses.

This Gran Selezione is the top expression of Sangiovese from these historic vineyards in Castelnuovo Berardenga, the quieter, more structured corner of Chianti Classico. The 2020 vintage delivers broad, fleshy weight—aromas of rich black cherry and plum woven with cedar, sweet cooking spices, chocolate, and saddle leather. On the palate the wine is dense and structured, the kind of Sangiovese that rewards patience and a decanter.

Gran Selezione is the appellation's highest tier, released only after thirty months of aging and reserved for fruit from a single estate's best vineyards. This is Chianti Classico built for the cellar, not the shelf. The 2020 offers the depth and spine to evolve over the next decade, showing what Sangiovese does when it's given time and terroir worth the wait.
