Like some of the other releases in the Castello di Bossi portfolio, this wine is characterized by a metallic note with iron ore and rust. The 2018 Chianti Classico Riserva Berardo (a certified organic wine) shows that same trait with wet clay or terracotta, dark fruit, black olive and black rose. The fruit is lost among those mineral-rich or metallic tones, giving the wine a shallow mouthfeel.
