About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The organically farmed vineyards lie on gentle hills in the Maremma area, at about 45 metres above sea level.

Ageing

The wine ages for nine months in large oak barrels, followed by three months in bottle.

Label / history

The name Prelius comes from the ancient Lake Prelius, which existed during the Roman Empire on the land where the winery now stands.
