A certified organic wine, the Castello di Bossi 2018 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione shows soft fruit richness with ripe cherry and blackberry backed by gentle tannins and rich textural support. This pretty, full-bodied Sangiovese is perfect for pairing with grilled meats or a winter stew.

Full-bodied and elegantly structured, this 100% Sangiovese, made with organically farmed grapes, has enticing aromas of violet, pipe tobacco, new leather and camphor. On the savory palate, fine-grained tannins accompany dried cherry, blood orange, licorice and mocha. Drink 2023-2028.

The 2018 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Castello di Bossi is a soft, easygoing wine. Sweet red cherry, mint, tobacco, dried herbs and mint give this mid-weight Gran Selezione good aromatic presence to match its accessible personality. The 2018 is not terribly complex, but it's not bad, either. I just expect more at this level. As should you.
