Castelprile
Vermentino Superiore Maremma Toscana DOC
Made from select organic estate grown Vermentino grams. Vinification in French oak barrels and tonneau used with integral lees subsequent decanting and bottling.
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.

Bright vivid straw yellow color. Typical hints of aromatic herbs of Vermentino blended with an expression of wildflowers and sweet spices. Full and harmonious, notes of wild flowers and herbs accompanied with hints of almond on the finish, which is long and notably savory.

"Apple, lemon and banana aromas. Round, creamy palate with integrated oak and subtle spice. Fresh acidity but balanced, full-bodied and textured, with a lingering, persistent finish."
— Jason Millar, 2025
