Don't miss the top wine of Castello di Volpaia's Tuscan estate in the Maremma, as the Prile Rosso Toscana 2016 is an impressive, 94 point ready-to-drink Italian red. Celebrating a historical tradition of growing Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Sangiovese in Tuscany's famed Maremma, Prelius was the ancient lake where the Etruscans and Romans settled. The floods of the Ombrone river filled the lake and created the fertile soil of the current vineyards where Volpaia crafts their Toscana Rosso. It's not just Volpaia, some of Italy's best vineyards are found here: Sassicaia, Solaia, and Ornellaia are neighbors with Volpaia in the Maremma. Balancing power and elegance with a Burgundian sense of style and grace, the 2016 Prile Rosso showcases complex aromas of dark cherry, blackberry, and cassis aged 18 months in French oak barrique. Only 10 cases left, don't miss this perfect pairing for a traditional Sunday Italian dinner!
Antonio Galloni: 94 Points
"The 2016 Prile is the top wine from Volpaia's Prelius estate in Maremma. It offers all the richness that is typical of the Tuscan coast. Blackberry jam, licorice, bittersweet chocolate, mocha and sweet spice give this dark, voluptuous red quite a bit of complexity. The 2016 is very nicely done." Antonio Galloni, 94 Points
