Castello di Bossi's 2011 Chianti Classico Riserva Berardo is a silky and buoyant expression of Sangiovese that does a great job of framing this warm vintage and the beautiful Tuscan territory. Dark berry aromas are followed by spice, leather, cola a distant chocolate. The effect is harmonious and unifying thanks to the firm structure that the wine shows at the back. It feels firmly knitted together into one velvety embroidery.
