91 Monica Larner - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

"The 2010 Chianti Classico is an elegantly crafted wine with impeccably balanced tones of red cherry, spice, mild coffee and leather that play off each other in an expertly choreographed dance. It's a young, firm wine that shows great energy. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2022."

"In my estimation, Marco Bacci's Castello di Bossi delivers one of the absolute best interpretations of Chianti Classico from the Castelnuovo Berardenga subzone. Temperatures are a few degrees warmer here on average and soils are slightly richer and redder. These conditions favor dark and powerful wines. The challenge is maintaining balance and freshness - things regularly achieved in Marco Bacci's wines."
