Cantina Filippi “Castelcerino” Soave Colli Scaligeri 2019
A typical sight at the Filippi farm, the highest point of the Soave area, is winemaker Filippo Filippi walking through his pergola-trained vineyards in the company of Billy, his loyal German Shepard. ‘Castelcerino’ is both the name of Filippi’s home village and a vineyard that surrounds his estate and cantina. Characterized by soils of basalt, a black volcanic stone, ‘Castelcerino’ is deeply mineral, with notes of almonds and anise. A pure, 100% Garganega wine.
