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
“The 2016 Castello di Bossi Rosato is a blend of 70% Sangiovese and 30% Cabernet and debuted in the 2015 vintage. Made from the free run juice destined for Bossi’s Corbaia Cabernet, this wine is a pale Salmon in color and displays more herbal notes than the Collemattoni. White peaches, cypress, and strawberry notes define the aromas while the palate is fresh and zesty with cranberry, strawberry and limestone flavors. Paired wonderfully with bruschetta pomodoro and spaghetti with toasted breadcrumbs and pecorino.
— Tuscan Vines, May 2017
“Bright pink. Herbal and fruity aromas are complicated by a curious note of diesel. Then a little simple in the mouth, with chunky orchard fruit flavors that turn creamy on the medium-long finish. Refreshing and clean, this offers lots of early appeal.”
— Ian D’Agata, May 2017
