Castelprile
Rosso Riserva Maremma DOC
The logo represents the fluid, the essence of the ancient costal lake of Prelius, what now is know as the Maremma Toscana around Grosseto. The lake has slowly disappeared also due to the drainage of the 30s and now the only fluid that’s left is the excellent wine making tradition of the region. The vineyards of Castelprile are located on a hilltop along the shores of the ancient lake, 5 miles from the sea facing the majestic Tuscan Archipelago.
The vineyard site benefits from cooling afternoon breezes that flow in from the sea to the hills, allowing grapes to maintain optimal flavor with balanced acidity.

“This wine shows how far these wines have come in recent years. Even with all of its obvious intensity, the 2019 retains terrific freshness and energy. This is such a classy and elegant wine, certainly the best yet here.”

“The nose evokes a camping trip, from plucking berries off thorny bushes to damp soil and leaves underfoot to wrapping up in a leather jacket and the smoke of a campfire. The palate turns peppery and meaty, with more berries and metallic, earthy undertones.”
— Danielle Callegari, 2023
