Castello di Bossi (Renieri) is one of the headline estates from the Castelnuovo Berardenga commune of Chianti Classico. The 2016 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione is a terrific wine that unfolds to reveal pretty fruit intensity, deep layers of cherry and blackberry and a soft texture. The wine is elegant and fresh with steady fruit weight that drives the quality and length of the finish. A well-marbled steak will do nicely here.

The flavors of cherry, strawberry, flowers, fresh herbs and iron are more forthcoming than the aromas in this version, while the structure is firm and unyielding. Nonetheless, there is a sense of ripeness from the sweet fruit and lingering aftertaste. Best from 2024 through 2036. 1,600 cases made, 500 cases imported.??–BS??Region: Italy / Chianti Classico Select to Add
