Teuto Toscana IGT

The Teuto from Tenuta Podernovo shows what Tuscany can do beyond the big names: a structured red wine with real depth, matured for 18 months in large wooden barrels.

Tenuta Podernovo is located in Tuscany and follows a classic winemaking philosophy: slow aging in large wooden casks instead of dominant new oak. This allows the fruit to remain in the foreground, while the wood merely provides the framework.

In the glass, the Teuto wine opens with aromas of cherry, plum, and blackberry, complemented by violet and a subtle spiciness. On the palate, it is round and warm, with elegantly integrated tannins and a finish that lingers for several seconds.
