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. Match Castello di Bossi Gran Selezione with robust main coursese. Roasted and grilled meats pair easily with Gran Selezione while well-seasoned cheeses and hardy vegetable-based stews broaden the scope.

A juicy and salty red with plums and cedar with light sawdust and hints of dried meat. Medium to full body. Savory. Nice tension at the end. Some chocolate powder. Drink now or hold.

Notable for its purity, this red boasts cherry, raspberry, floral and mineral aromas and flavors. Solidly built, with lively acidity and raspy tannins that grip the finish. Tobacco and iron notes grace the aftertaste. Best from 2026 through 2039. 1,600 cases made, 500 cases imported.

The 2020 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Castello di Bossi is gorgeous. Floral, lifted and quite expressive, the 2020 has a lot to offer. It marries the richness of this southern district with lovely aromatic presence and a good bit of brightness. It's a complete, deeply satisfying wine to drink now and over the next decade or so. The 2020 spent 24 months in 40- 5OHL casks, an approach that works so well here.
