Tenuta Bossi - Among the Tuscan hills

The experience was very interesting from the point of view of the history and the description of the estate. Completely immersed in this ancient estate of an important Florentine family. On a tasting level, it is more important to evaluate how they are presented than to say if the individual wines were liked individually; regarding this, as a wine technician, I was very satisfied. The only detail that was less pleasant was the choice to have the tasting inside a room full of stuffed animals, not very welcoming and not for everyone.
Overall we were more than satisfied
You absolutely must check the road beforehand, but then you have to enjoy the spectacular landscape.

Rediscovering Chianti Rufina

Enjoyable visit to the Marchesi Gondi Estate, well-organized with expertise and passion. Interesting wines with a special mention for the Chianti Riserva 100% Sangiovese and the Vin Santo.

Chianti Rufina Tasting

We spent a few days in Chianti and we certainly couldn't leave without having done a tasting.
Even with little notice, we managed to book one at Tenuta Bossi, a splendid villa in the hills of Pontassieve.
We were welcomed by the very kind Gerardo, who first accompanied us into the garden to tell us his family's story, then into the cellars, where we literally “breathed in” the passion with which they carry on their work.
Afterwards, we were accompanied to the tasting room where the sommelier Giacomo had us taste, with friendliness and extreme patience towards us tasting novices, the five varieties of their wines, accompanied by a sampling of local cured meats and cheeses, plus a little treat: a taste of their oil.
Extremely satisfied, we left, but not before buying their products.
