BIODYNAMICALLY FARMED
WINE ENTHUSIAST 92 POINTS; EDITOR'S CHOICE - ".. offers enticing scents of Spanish broom, acacia, stone fruit and honey. The honey note follows on to the enveloping, savory palate along with dried apricot, lemon drop and ginger before a white-almond close. Bright acidity keeps it fresh." - Kerin O'Keefe
"Filippo Filippi's vineyards are planted at Soave’s highest summits, more than 1,200 feet above sea level. His vines soar overhead in pergola, a traditional training system that hangs fruit under a canopy of vine leaves.
Filippi wines capture in bottle an unadulterated expression of his family’s land, each vineyard a treasure with its ancient Garganega vines. His home and cantina in Castelcerino, surrounded by vines and wild forest, sits at the summit of Monte Calprea, an ancient volcano, one of many that make up Soave’s highest peaks and its most treasured vineyard soils.
If any soul could stake a claim at being Soave’s first son, however, it is Filippi. His family first laid claim to these high-altitude lands in the 1300s. Winemaking in earnest began in the early 1900s, and many of Filippi’s oldest Garganega vines were planted by his grandfather in the 1930s.
Simply put, Filippi wants the features of the soil to be felt in his wines...‘Vigna della Bra’ combines clay and limestone with black basalt." - NORTH BERKELEY IMPORTS
