Attractive ripeness with lots of berries and currants. Fine sweet spices and some dark chocolate confers a nice plushness. Full-bodied and nicely grippy on the palate with ample tannins and a flavorful finish. Drink or hold.

This wine shows very concentrated aromas of black fruit and dark plum that is indeed very generous for a Rosso on the lower end of the appellation. Packing lots of punch, the Campo al Mare 2021 Bolgheri Rosso reveals toasted spice and tarry smoke over a textured, full-bodied mouthfeel. There is a hint of burnt ember on the medium finish. This is a good value option to pair with roast beef.

A rich red saturated with pure black cherry, blackberry and violet flavors, with a touch of spices. Charming and finishes long, echoing the dark fruit notes. Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Drink now through 2028. 8,250 cases made.

On the nose, aromas of Rainier cherries, strawberries and blood orange are balanced by a wet, woodsy, vegetal quality, and then underscored by a pleasant salinity. That salty earthiness continues onto the palate, while the lingering astringency of barely ripe berries evolves into a bittersweet cocoa finish.
