The 2001 Chianti Classico shows what the estate can do when the weather is on its side in its precise and focused fruit, and in the freshness and length of the flavors. Castello di Bossi is sitting with a full hand – all the elements to make some of Chianti Classico’s best wine are in place. The vineyard holdings are extensive, capital is readily available, and in Alberto Antonini the house can avail itself of the services of one of Italy’s most gifted oenologists.
