Castello di Bossi
With a history dating back to the 9th century AD, the Castello di Bossi estate has evolved with the times.
A dynamic team leads the estate and never shies from technological innovation, while remaining true to
the terroir of Chianti. It is this balance that has been a key part of Marco Bacci’s vision as he has brought
Castello di Bossi to the highest ranks of international wine. As the mastermind of Castello di Bossi, he
oversees all operations, from beginning to end, with careful attention to detail. In the last 10 years, Marco
has added two properties to his holdings: Renieri in Montalcino and Terre di Talamo in the Morellino di
Scansano appellation.
Berardo Chianti Classico Riserva DOCG
The Castello di Bossi estate is located in the commune of Castelnuovo Berardenga in the southernmost
tip of the Chianti Classico zone. Berardo is a shortened way of saying, “It comes from Berardenga.”
Areas further south in Chianti Classico tend to produce rounder, fuller versions of Chianti and this wine
is a perfect example of this rich elegance.
Chianti Classico DOCG
For owner Marco Bacci, success is in the details, from vineyard to bottle. The entire Castello di Bossi
portfolio of wines carefully balances the tradition and rich history of the region with innovative
winemaking techniqes; this Chianti Classico is no exception. Made from 100% Sangiovese, grown in
soils with high chalk content, this wine shows just how good this varietal can taste.
Corbaia Toscana IGT
Named for the vineyard of Cabernet Sauvignon planted in Bossi some 42 years ago, this Super-Tuscan is
a blend of Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon. Corbaia is stainless steel-fermented and matured in Allier
oak barriques, which results in a wine of superb finesse and elegance.
