Subtle aromas of black cherries, tar, mushrooms, black truffles and dark earth. Medium- to full-bodied with refined and linear tannins that give tension and focus to the wine. Delicate finish. From organically grown grapes. Lovely now. Drink or hold.

.The organic Castello di Bossi 2021 Chianti Classico Riserva Berardo is 100% Sangiovese aged in botte for two years, followed by one year in bottle. Fruit comes from a site at 300 meters in elevation characterized by dark clay soils. These conditions add extra richness that comes forth as spice and cinnamon over dried cassis, blackberry and dried herb.

The 2021 Chianti Classico Riserva Berardo is a powerful, layered wine. Black cherry, liquorice, cloves, leather and scorched earth all run through this brooding, imposing Riserva. There's a lot to like here, especially in the way this opens with time in the glass.
