Castello di Volpaia ‘Prelius’ Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

Categories , ,

Each and every year we feature the inimitable wines of Castello di Volpaia. Even so, as the scores explode our allotment erodes.

Now – Castello di Volpaia has done it again with the ultimate Tuesday nighter Cabernet. Drawn from a steep hillside overlooking the ancient (now non-existent) Lake Prelius – Castello di Volpaia’s Cabernet is out of this world especially for under $20!

Made from organically grown grapes, this one is super energetic yet elegant with refined tannins and a lingering finish. Meant to be enjoyed in its youth, you could also make an argument that this wine will continue to shine for upwards of a decade. It’s a full-bodied Super-Tuscan and for a wine with a very modest price tag, there are plenty of intricacies and layers to peel back here.

Original price was: $26.00.Current price is: $18.50.

The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon is a very pretty wine. Readers will find a supple, perfumed Cabernet Sauvignon that emphasizes freshness and drinkability more than the richer style often associated with Tuscany’s Maremma. I admire its balance and aromatic presence, both of which make it a fine choice for drinking over the next handful of years.
