2020 Vintage-
James Suckling 97
"Very perfumed with flowers and sandalwood. Medium- to full-bodied with very fine tannins that are so long and intense. This will compete with top Brunellos. Linear and driven at the end. From organically grown grapes. Best after 2026."
Wine Advocate 92
Opening to medium-dark concentration, the organic Castello di Bossi 2020 Chianti Classico Riserva Berardo offers a velvet-like texture with substantial aromas of dark plum and sweet cherry and moderate tones of earth and spice that are expertly woven within the wine's fine texture. This Riserva offers good tannic structure with fine, powdery sensations to close.
Vinous Media 90
The 2020 Chianti Classico Riserva Berardo offers up scents of plum, blackberry, dried herbs, leather, cedar, tobacco and licorice. This virile Riserva captures plenty of the earthy, somber power often found in wines from Castelnuovo Berrdenga.
Wine Spectator 89
"A burst of cherry and raspberry fruit leads off in this juicy red. Solidly built, with dense tannins and vivid acidity supporting the mineral- and tobacco-infused finish. A dusty feel lingers, along with a bitter almond detail. Best from 2026 through 2038. 5,000 cases made, 2,000 cases imported."-BS
