POGGIO AL TESORO TEOS PASSITO PETIT MANSENG IGT TOSCANA 2015 375ml

ABOUT THE WINE

Today Bolgheri is one of the most interesting and seductive areas in Tuscany, celebrated for its history and its great wines, which over the years have created what we now call ‘the Bolgheri style’. n 2001, Marilisa Allegrini and her brother Walter were motivated by the challenge of a new project, separate from their beloved Valpolicella, set out in search of something extraordinary. They immediately fell in love with Bolgheri, its beauty, and its great potential. Their story is one of dedication and respect for the environment, and now also includes Marilisa's daughters, Carlotta and Caterina. Alongside their mother, and in honour of their beloved uncle, they carry this incredible project at Poggio al Tesoro forward and contribute to making it one of the most dynamic and significant wineries in Bolgheri. Within just a few years, Poggio al Tesoro has become one of the most dynamic wineries in Bolgheri, with wines that are distinguished by their excellence and originality and a distinct personality.
Teos, the ancient Greek city dedicated to Dionysus, is the name of this sweet wine by Poggio al Tesoro. Allegrini’s expertise in the appassimento technique has inspired the creation of this Petit Manseng made with partially dried grapes. Teos has an enveloping sweetness that combines satisfying acidity with a deep golden hue, aromas of ripe fruit, jam and honey.

TASTING NOTE:

The palate is never excessively sweet and is refreshed by a vein of acidity and aromatic nuances of caramel and liquorice. The wine thus retains harmony and lightness, leading to a dry finale that eagerly invites a further sip.

FOOD PAIRING:

Teos, the wine with an important and evocative name, requires pairings that, in addition to the classic combinations with great dessert wines, are refined enough to exalt its characteristics, such as white chocolate delight and exotic fruit or chamomile ice cream with mango sauce.
