Castello di Bossi traces back to the 9th century, which gives Marco Bacci's team plenty of history to honor and, apparently, no fear of new technology in service of it. The estate stays rooted in Chianti terroir while updating the toolkit. This 2022 Pinot Nero is clear ruby with real lift on the nose: currant and blueberry, a little juniper, then herbal turns of nepitella and bay leaf. The entry is assertive, the body fluid but genuinely structured. Proof that Pinot Noir can speak Tuscan without losing its accent.
Tasting Notes
Clear ruby red, with beautiful reflections. The nose presents a set of delightful aromas, of fruits such as currant and blueberry, hints of juniper, and notes of herbs such as nepitella and bay leaf, with inviting intensity. On tasting, the onset is assertive, with entry demonstrating a fluid but well-structured body, from tannins fused with the alcohol component, with a calibrated acid backbone, giving a tasty freshness, for a lively and taut finish. This wine is a harmonious companion to poultry dishes, richly roasted duck, or succulent pork. Let its velvety nuances elevate a creamy mushroom risotto or accentuate the smoky allure of grilled vegetables. Every sip invites you to savor life's simplest, yet most exquisite, culinary pleasures.
