Castello di Bossi S.r.l.

Castello di Bossi spans more than 800 hectares, with 130 hectares dedicated to vineyards. The estate is steeped in history, dating back to 1099, when the first tower was built, with evidence of vineyards from Roman times found in the area. The castle was transformed into a four-sided defensive structure in 1450, which still dominates the landscape today. The property also includes two recently restored consecrated churches.

The estate is proud of its commitment to sustainability, being 100% organic and powered entirely by clean energy. 600 hectares of solar panels are naturally cleaned by local sheep, contributing to the estate’s eco-friendly approach. Visitors are invited to immerse themselves in the beauty of the Tuscan countryside, the rich history of the castle, and the high-quality wines produced here, all while enjoying the warm hospitality of the Castello di Bossi family.

Castello di Bossi's three main grapes are Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Merlot. Sangiovese from Castelnuovo Berardenga, as opposed to other areas of Chianti Classico, has a higher phenolic and tannic ripeness because of the mitigated climate. Cabernet and Merlot were among the first ones planted in Chianti Classico about 40 years ago. The predominant soils are tuff, yellow clays, silty sands, and broken stone.
