This wine is made of 100% Vermentino. We would pair it with a Roman pasta dish like cacio e pepe or Pasta alla Gricia. Prelius was the name of an ancient coastal lake that has disappeared due to drainage beginning in the 1930's. Now, what is left of the lake makes up the shores of Maremma Toscana DOC around the town of Grosseto. Cool afternoon breezes that come in from the ocean allow the grapes to remain their sharp acidity and fruit. The wine is vinified in stainless steel and rests on its lees for 6 months to enhance its textural complexity.

Details

From our Importer: In the hilly amphitheater of Tuscany’s Maremma region, above an ancient coastal lake called Prelius, a vineyard organically farmed by the Mascheroni Stianti family flourishes. This vineyard, called Castelprile, is the first venture outside of Chianti Classico for the Mascheroni Stianti family, leaders in Tuscany’s organic viticultural movement.

The label represents the fluid, the essence of the ancient costal lake of Prelius, what now is known as the Maremma Toscana around Grosseto. The lake has slowly disappeared due to the drainage during the 1930’s and now the only fluid that’s left is the excellent wine making tradition of the region. The vineyards of Prelius are located on a hilltop along the shores of the ancient lake, 5 miles from the sea facing the majestic Tuscan Archipelago.
