Volpaia Vermentino 2023
Castelprile
Particularly difficult year for seasonal trends. The year 2023 began with a mild winter with little rain, which was followed by the months of May and June characterized by heavy and repeated rains that caused, as in much of Italy, major problems in containing downy mildew. With the month of July, temperatures rose considerably. The summer was hot and dry with some rains at the end of August that allowed the grapes to complete ripening.

Prelius was the ancient Maremma Toscana, an ancient salty lake where the Etruscans first and the Romans later used to produce salt and breed fishes. The floods of the Ombrone river have filled the Prelius lake and created the fertile soil of the Maremma Toscana. Here is where the Benedictine Monks have established their Abbey and started to grow grapes, more precisely in the district of Prile, the modern name of Prelius exactly where we grow our vines.
