Prelius, the organic project of the historic Castellare estate, showcases the untapped potential of coastal Tuscany. Located in Maremma, near the Tyrrhenian Sea, the vineyards benefit from warm days and cooling breezes, which help Cabernet Sauvignon ripen fully while retaining freshness. The 2022 vintage, shaped by a warm but balanced season, delivers a vibrant, structured red that highlights both richness and elegance.

Ripe blackcurrant and plum form the heart of the wine, layered with Mediterranean herbs, graphite, and a touch of sweet spice from gentle oak aging. The tannins are smooth yet present, giving the wine grip without overwhelming its natural vibrancy. Compared to the powerful Cabernet-based wines of Bolgheri, Prelius leans toward finesse, with bright acidity and a mineral-tinged finish that reflects its coastal terroir.

A perfect match for grilled steak, roasted lamb, or aged pecorino, this is a Cabernet Sauvignon that brings a distinctly Tuscan twist. Enjoy now with a short decant, or cellar for 5–7 years to watch its complexity unfold.
