“Castello di Bossi's 2011 Chianti Classico Riserva Berardo is a silky and buoyant expression of Sangiovese that does a great job of framing this warm vintage and the beautiful Tuscan territory. Dark berry aromas are followed by spice, leather, cola and distant chocolate. The effect is harmonious and unifying thanks to the firm structure that the wine shows at the back. It feels firmly knitted together into one velvety embroidery.”

“The 2011 Chianti Classico Riserva Berardo offers lovely depth and persistence in a round, succulent style that gives the wine considerable near and medium-term appeal. Cedar, smoke, tobacco, licorice and black cherries form an attractive fabric. Although quite expressive today, the 2011 has more than enough depth and pedigree to drink well for at least another decade and perhaps longer.”
