Bolgheri Superiore DOC Campo al Mare Baia al Vento 2020 Ambrogio e Giovanni Folonari

Bolgheri Superiore Baia al Vento by Folonari was born in the Campo al Mare estates, located in the Livorno town of Castagneto Carducci, near the sea. This area has gained international fame for the affirmation of the Bolgheri DOC appellation.

This wine is mainly produced with Merlot grapes and with Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot grapes, which are expressed in these territories at their top quality. The grapes are harvested in the first half of September for Merlot and in the second half for Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. After a maceration of about 30 days at 28 °C, at the end of the alcoholic fermentation, the malolactic fermentation takes place in stainless steel containers. Subsequently, the wine is placed in French oak tonneaux, half new and half of 1 year, where it remains for about 16–18 months. Once bottled, the wine ages for another 12 months.

It is a wine with an intense color, with a deep texture and elegant bluish reflections. The nose has interesting notes of Mediterranean scrub, enriched with hints of ripe red fruit. In the mouth it is powerful and warm, with good tannins, smooth and elegant. Overall, it is a well-structured wine.

Perfect in combination with game and stews, it is ideal for accompanying mature cheeses.
