Hi Everyone,
What do you get when you grow Sangiovese and Teroldego in Northern Tuscany near the beach, farm it organically, and ferment it with the abundant/thick native yeasts that thrive in this seaside atmosphere?
…you end up with one of the most interesting and delicious sub-$20 bottles of wine that you’ve ever placed in/on your hands/tables.
Don’t just take it from us, take it from the always-stingy Antonio Galloni who was recently freaking out over this magic red nectar in Vinous:
“The 2023 Costa Toscana Rosso Penteo is a blend of 85% Sangiovese and 15% Teroldego. Dried herbs, tobacco, cedar, incense, forest floor and sweet dried cherry are all beautifully lifted. This mid-weight, quirky, intensely floral/savory Tuscan red has plenty to recommend it. 93 points. (reviewed at $30)” – Antonio Galloni, Vinous 12/24
As good as it gets in terms of “Summer” themed wine (the Teroldego adds such aromatic/palate intrigue on this one), there are unlimited ways to utilize this conversation-starter of a Tuscan red.
Limited quantity!
