The Baia al Vento Bolgheri Superiore DOC 2008 from Folonari presents itself as a wine that invites slowness: its extended evolution in bottle makes it suitable for those seeking a mature, complex sip. In the glass it shows a deep colour typical of structured reds, with hints suggesting development over time. On the nose there are tertiary notes and an aromatic texture that evolves with aeration, offering a measured and restrained tasting experience. This label speaks of a balance between intensity and control, intended for occasions where the wine accompanies flavorful dishes or moments of attentive tasting.

Presented in a 'Cassa Legno' case and linked to the name 'Campo al Mare', this bottle carries the Folonari signature and the Bolgheri Superiore DOC designation, vintage 2008. It is recommended to serve it slightly cool compared to room temperature and to decant it if you wish to encourage the opening of aromas. Suitable for those who appreciate mature, contemplative wines, it is a product to consider for focused tastings or as a noteworthy presence in a selection of reds.

Winery history
The Folonari family has deep roots in the Brescia area and has been involved in wine production since the late 18th century. At the end of the 19th century the headquarters were moved to Brescia, and in the early 20th century the family acquired the historic Ruffino winery. In the 1960s Nino Folonari began a shift toward quality with the acquisition of estates in Chianti. In 2000 Ambrogio and Giovanni Folonari established Ambrogio e Giovanni Folonari Tenute, which brings together several estates in Tuscany, while the Folonari brand offers an extensive range of table wines and appellation wines.

Headquarters and estates are mainly in Tuscany, with production and a presence also in north-eastern regions such as Veneto and in areas like the Collio; the company’s history begins in the Bresciano and includes references to territories around Lake Garda and beyond.
