Wine Reviews
The nose is primarily warm, meaty and sanguine, but also saline, herbaceous and slightly tart, with a dash of salt and pepper tying the fresh to the savory. The palate strikes a similar balance between the levity of mint and berries and the dusty warmth of coffee and chocolate.
The 2020 Baia Al Vento is a dense, high-octane red from Campo al Mare. Sumptuous red fruit, mocha, cinnamon, new leather and espresso are all amplified in this dense full-throttle wine.
This is intense on the nose, with baked cherries, ripe blackberries and hints of coffee beans, walnuts and licorice. Medium- to full-bodied with tight, chewy tannins and succulence underneath. The finish is firm and tightly wound.
Currants and sandalwood with hints of bay leaf and rosemary flower. It’s medium-bodied with fine tannins that give a caressing texture and a long, pretty finish. Drinkable now, but better in a year or two.
