Description

Let me introduce you to the Teanum Otre Passito, a golden treasure from the heart of Puglia, Italy. This isn't just a wine; it's an experience, a journey through the sun-drenched landscapes and rich traditions of a region famed for its unique viticultural heritage.

Cantine Teanum is the soul of this bottle, a winery deeply rooted in the terroir of Puglia. They are dedicated to crafting wines that speak of the land, wines that capture the essence of the Adriatic coast and the rolling hills of the interior. They embrace the traditional wine-making methods to give its wines authenticity.

The Otre Passito is a testament to the art of 'passito' winemaking, an ancient technique where grapes are carefully dried to concentrate their sugars and flavors. This meticulous process results in a wine that is both intensely sweet and remarkably complex, a true delight for the senses.

Imagine the first whiff: a symphony of acacia honey, dried figs, and citrus marmalade dances in your glass. The nose hints at something truly special, an invitation to explore the depths of this remarkable wine. On the palate, it's a cascade of flavors. The sweetness is balanced by a refreshing minerality and a vibrant acidity, keeping the wine lively and preventing it from becoming cloying. The well-balanced acidity is fresh and well made. The finish is long and lingering, leaving a memorable impression of dried fruit, honey, and a subtle zestiness.

This Passito, with its aromatic richness and balanced sweetness, it perfect for an aperitif or to be enjoyed with desserts. It makes a superb companion to blue cheeses like Gorgonzola or Roquefort, where the wine's sweetness cuts through the cheese's sharpness. Or, try it with fruit tarts, biscotti, or even a simple platter of dried fruits and nuts. For a truly decadent pairing, pair it with foie gras or paté.

Serve the Teanum Otre Passito slightly chilled, around 12°C (54°F), to best showcase its aromatic complexity and refreshing acidity. It is best enjoyed soon after opening, the aroma will be a delight. This wine, with its layers of flavors and rich heritage, is more than just a drink; it's an experience. Invite the sunshine of Puglia to your table and savor the magic of the Otre Passito.
