Note di degustazione
The 2009 Corbaia is surprisingly closed down for the vintage. Today, the tannins are quite imposing, but not enough to obscure the wine's considerable depth and purity of fruit. Raspberry jam, grilled herbs and new leather flesh out on the imposing finish. Readers will have to give the 2009 at least a few years in bottle. Once again, Corbaia is a stunner. Over the years, this 70% Sangiovese/30% Cabernet Sauvignon blend has been one of the best kept secrets in Tuscany.

Made with Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2009 Corbaia is a richly layered red that reveals elegant tones of red rose, cherry, freshly milled black pepper, prune and dried blackberry. This is a multifaceted and fascinating wine with a firm tannic backbone surrounded by fleshy fruit, bitter chocolate and exotic spice. The 2009 vintage shows a uniquely plump quality of fruit. Anticipated maturity: 2015-2030. 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. Importer: Winebow Inc.; www.winebow.com
