Hidden Tuscany Rating
Bolgheri Rosso DOC 2024 from Folonari, at Campo al Mare: dominant Merlot blended with Petit Verdot and Cabernets, aged for up to 12 months in French oak barrels. The 2024 vintage and the absence of any distinction or organic mention invite caution before purchasing.
Bolgheri DOC appellation and Tenuta Campo al Mare named, Merlot 82% blend, Petit Verdot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc consistent with the coastal area.
No awards or guides mentioned; the producer Folonari is named but with no attested reputation in the sources.
At €23.79 for 75 cl (large 1.5 L format at €47.57, crossed-out price €59.64), the price remains consistent for an undistinguished Bolgheri DOC.
Precise pairing with the passato di pesce alla livornese, detailed profile (red fruits, herbs, milk chocolate, vanilla) and silky tannins; serving temperature not specified.
Folonari estate at Tenuta Campo al Mare located, fermentation in steel, 20–30 days maceration, max 12 months aging in 500 L barrels and 3 months in bottle.

Comment on noteThe wine
I invite you to discover a gem of the Tuscan coast, a wine that embodies balance and finesse without ever falling into excess. This Bolgheri Rosso DOC from Folonari, from the Tenuta Campo al Mare, is a true caress for the senses, an invitation to travel to the heart of an exceptional wine region.
The Bolgheri region, on the Tuscan coast, is renowned for its red wines of great elegance. The Folonari estate, with its Tenuta Campo al Mare, cultivates expertise passed down through generations. This wine is a harmonious blend of Merlot (82%), Petit Verdot (8%), Cabernet Sauvignon (6%) and Cabernet Franc (4%), grape varieties that flourish fully under the Mediterranean sun and marine influence. The 2024 vintage promises a faithful expression of this unique terroir.
In the glass, you will be charmed by its intense ruby color with bright highlights, a prelude to the richness of its bouquet. On the nose, I perceive generous aromas of ripe red fruits, subtly interwoven with aromatic herbs, notes of milk chocolate and a delicate touch of vanilla. On the palate, this wine reveals itself as enveloping, with silky, well-integrated tannins that give it a velvety texture. A beautiful freshness supports the tasting, offering a harmonious structure and lasting pleasure. Fermentation in steel tanks, followed by maceration for 20 to 30 days, then aging for a maximum of twelve months in 500-liter French oak barrels, and finally three months in the bottle, contribute to this complexity and elegance.
This Bolgheri Rosso DOC is a wine for sharing, perfect to accompany your moments of conviviality. I particularly recommend it with Mediterranean cuisine dishes, roasted meats or aged cheeses. Imagine it alongside a "Passato di pesce alla livornese con maionese allo zafferano", a pairing that will enhance the flavors of this wine. Don't hesitate to open it a little in advance so it reveals all its splendor, and serve it at room temperature for an optimal tasting experience. It is an invitation to savor the authenticity of Tuscany, one glass after another.
