Dark in color, with very dense and sweet aromas of plum veering into prune. The palate is reduced and lacks the breadth and balance of a great wine. What you get instead is a jammy, simple specimen with modest flavors and even less complexity.

Nice and mildly creamy up front, with aromas of pear, melon and vanilla. It runs rather tangy and zesty across the palate, showing apple, kiwi and peach flavors. Finishes long but monotone, with almond extract as the lasting impression.

Baia al Vento (windy bay) is a mostly Merlot-based wine (with tiny percentages of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot) with big, ripe, chewy fruit at its core. The aromas include sweet cherry, jammy blackberry and cured meat.

Tenute Folonari has produced a Bordeaux blend that is definitely on the ripe side. The wine is a touch jammy, with mature cherry, strawberry, plum, blackberry tart, tobacco and chocolate fudge. The mouthfeel has a dense, gritty texture.

The Campo al Mare Bolgheri Rosso (a blend of Merlot, Cabernets Sauvignon and Franc and Petit Verdot) shows no limpidity whatsoever. The wine is massively thick, black, inky and jackhammer intense. There are no subtleties here, no reading between the lines: Aromas of wet earth, blackberry and cured beef are flowed by thick tannins and a sweet berry fade.

This is a thickly extracted Bordeaux blend from Tuscany with ripe and chewy tones of mature cherry, leather, chocolate and moist tobacco. The wine has power and persistency and a long, succulent finish that sits tight on the palate.
