Castello di Bossi Chianti Classico 2021
93 Points, Wine Spectator – 92 Points, James Suckling
Castello di Bossi’s Chianti Classico always represents one of the very best values in all of Tuscany. But this year, they took their value to never before seen heights. Both James Suckling and the Wine Spectator awarded the wine at least 92-point scores, with the latter actually giving a rare 93-point score for a wine in this range. Â
The 2021 CC from Castello di Bossi is absolutely singing right now. It shows all the hallmarks of Castello di Bossi’s signature style – that perfect balance of power and elegance that made their Riserva such a sensation. It’s high-toned, food-friendly and as approachable as can be. What a star Tuscan value you have here.

93 Points, Wine Spectator
This bright red is saturated with cherry, raspberry, graphite and tobacco flavors, lifted by dense, well-mannered tannins that leave an impact on the finish.
92 Points, James Suckling
Aromas of red plums, dried lavender and new leather followed by forest floor, dried orange peel, and a hint of terra-cotta. Medium-bodied, firm yet fine-grained tannins with crisp acidity. Subtle mineral finish. Nice depth with layers. From organically grown grapes. Try after 2025.
If you’ve heard of Castello di Bossi, you probably have winemaker and entrepreneur Marco Bacci to thank. Since taking over the winery in 1998, the man behind Renieri and several other wineries throughout Tuscany, has pumped new life into the winery – thrusting it firmly into the Tuscan spotlight.
The property – a breathtaking estate in the heart of the beloved commune of Castelnuovo Berardenga is home to some of the most consistently outstanding wines throughout the lineup.. From the Chianti Classico, to the Gran Selezione, to their SuperTuscan ‘Corbaia’, these represent some of Tuscany’s finest winemaking examples.
Along with superstar consultant Alberto Antonini, the winery has matched big scores with the very best in Tuscany: Sassicaia, Ornellaia, Tignanello, you name it – which is why Monica Lerner, the Wine Advocate’s Chief Editor in Staff declared, “Castello di Bossi is a flagship producer from the Castelnuovo Berardenga sub zone in the southern part of the appellation.“
