Castello di Bossi
Riserva Berardo Chianti Classico Sangiovese Blend
Great acid and tannic structure. Like traipsing through the woods after a warm mid-summer rain. Wet eucalyptus, mulch, and lilies.

Feb 19th, 2014Bright and vibrant, red fruits, dusty tannins, a touch of spice. Not too fruity at this stage. Acidity is high and perhaps lends to a touch of imbalance. Needs the right food to complement it but certainly easy to put down!

Nov 8th, 2021This used to be burly. Tannins have softened. It has become rather elegant with the flavors of Chianti you expect.

Apr 17th, 2021Also excellent. Tighter, darker, than the Monsanto, but just as good. More earthy.

Sep 16th, 2020This is in a really good place. Took a long time for the oak to integrate, but it has.

Jun 1st, 2019Not for sipping unless a good sixty minutes before in a decanter. Typical characteristics of a CCR...plus some good old "Gaul women" smoke on the back end. Will go beautifully with tonight's charred fatty T-bone. A few left in the cellar...drink up...its arrived...and will only head South from here.
