Description
Teos IGT Toscana Passito Petit Manseng: sweet elegance and freshness from Bolgheri
Teos IGT Toscana Passito Petit Manseng by Poggio al Tesoro - Allegrini is a refined and original meditation wine, capable of uniting aromatic intensity, balance, and a pleasant taste tension. It is made from 100% Petit Manseng in the Bolgheri area, from grapes hand-picked and subjected to drying, giving rise to a passito with a warm, sunny profile that is never excessive. Its identity combines the richness typical of the type with a freshness that makes it smooth and harmonious, ideal for those seeking a sweet wine different from the usual.
Territory and wine style
The Teos IGT Toscana Passito Petit Manseng comes from the Vigneto Le Sondraie, in the Bolgheri area, at low altitude and with a west-facing exposure. The territorial context, along with deep soils with sands, gravels, and clays, helps define a Mediterranean character, rich yet balanced. The drying of the grapes for about a month concentrates aromas and material, while fermentation in steel and aging in barrique for about 12 months builds an elegant profile without losing precision.
Tasting notes
In the glass, it presents a rich and bright style, consistent with its nature as a Tuscan passito. On the nose, hints of wild herbs, sea, caramel, and licorice emerge, with nuances recalling the ripe sweetness of fruit and a very enveloping aromatic component. On the palate, the sweetness is well-balanced and supported by a lively freshness, which lightens the sugary perception and carries the sip towards a dry, harmonious, and persistent finish. The result is a balanced, complex, and pleasantly smooth wine.
Recommended pairings
The Teos IGT Toscana Passito Petit Manseng expresses itself best with elegant and not too heavy desserts, such as white chocolate, exotic fruit, sbrisolona cake, or cream preparations with citrus notes. It also pairs interestingly with flavored ice creams and semifreddos, such as chamomile, mango, or pistachio, and finds a particularly convincing harmony with blue cheeses or herb cheeses of medium to high intensity. It is also a refined choice as a dessert wine or for meditation.
Serving temperature
Serve Teos IGT Toscana Passito Petit Manseng at a temperature of 10-12°C, to enhance freshness, aromas, and taste finesse. A brief wait in the glass can help open the bouquet, especially if served alongside structured desserts or cheeses.
