2022 Castelprile Maremma Toscana "Prelius" Cabernet Sauvignon, Tuscany, Italy
ABOUT THIS WINE
The 2022 vintage was marked by extremely high temperatures from spring through summer, with minimal rainfall. All growth stages happened earlier than usual. The vines experienced moderate water stress, but rains on August 18th and 19th provided relief and allowed for proper ripening. 100% Cabernet Sauvignon aged 6 months in 30 Hl casks of French oak.
ABOUT THIS PRODUCER
In the hilly amphitheater of Tuscany’s Maremma region, above an ancient coastal lake called Prelius, a vineyard organically farmed by the Stianti Mascheroni family flourishes. This vineyard, also called Prelius, is the first venture outside of Chianti Classico for the Stianti Mascheroni family, leaders in Tuscany’s organic viticultural movement.
The 22-hectare (54-acre) estate, purchased in 2007, is located in the municipality of Castiglione della Pescaia in the Grosseto area and is neighbored by the vineyards of Antinori and Bellavista. The Castelprile blue logo reflects the fluid nature of the coastal lake of Prelius. As the area has evolved, it has established itself as an excellent location for viticulture and winemaking. The Castelprile vineyards are located on a hilltop along what was once the shore of the ancient lake, 5 kilometers (nearly 3 miles) from the Tyrrhenian Sea.
