Ferraristi Club Sieci

As it does every year for Bacco Artigiano, the Club Ferraristi Sieci organised a rally.

This year the drivers stopped at Marchesi Gondi - Tenuta Bossi for a wine tasting. Welcomed by Marchese Bernardo Gondi and his sister Donatella, the group was able to visit the monumental cellar where the estate's wines rest.

During the morning the drivers had the chance to taste the Chianti Rufina Riserva VILLA BOSSI 2010. For the estate, this wine has always represented the fullest expression of the territory, that is to say the finest selection of the blend that defines it: 80% Sangiovese, 10% Colorino and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon. One might call it a Gran Riserva, a Grand Cru or a wine for contemplation. Always the estate's flagship, it is a structured and very long-lived Riserva, made with these varieties only since 1988.

Appearance: intense, deep ruby red, with good depth of colour and light garnet reflections. Nose: great impact, with fruit of cherry and ripe, macerated blackberry, followed by sweet, well-integrated spice of liquorice with balsamic and toasted shadings. The finish brings notes of cocoa and coffee. Palate: great structure and character. The fullness of the wine shows in the interplay of softness and tannins of good personality; the finish is long, with fruity and mineral notes, closing on a pleasant note of liquorice.
