Castello di Bossi Rosato

Rosato Toscana IGT bottle image

Wine Description

Introduced in 2015, this refined and elegant Tuscan Rose adds a breath of freshness to Castello di Bossi's lineup of powerful and prestigious red wines.  Castello di Bossi Rosato is sourced from the Corbaia vineyard, which was planted more than 40 years ago to 70% Sangiovese and 30% Cabernet Sauvignon.  Every year, during the process of making red Corbaia wine, 5-7% of the juice is "bled" from the Corbaia tanks rendering the remaining juice more concentrated.  Beginning with the 2014 vintage, this juice is now collected and put through a cool-temperature fermentation in stainless steel tanks before being released as a dry, structured Rosato.

Acclaim
“Delicate aromas and flavors of red currant, violet and fresh citrus. Really blossoms with aeration, picking up a sweet-and-sour tang and a zingy mineral overlay. Not the last word in complexity, but a really lovely Rosato that will go down by the bucketful. Strikes me as one of the best Rosatos from this estate in some time.”
— Vinous, Apr 2016
“Made of 90% Sangiovese and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, this offers red berry and Mediterranean herb aromas that carry over to the palate. It closes on a refreshing citrusy note.”
