Terroir Notes: Located in Castelcerino, Filippi sits at the highest point in Soave. The hills reach up to 400 meters (1,300 feet). It is a secluded spot with around 40 acres of vineyards surrounded by dense woodland. Filippi believes in biodiversity and farms his land organically and biodynamically. Castelcerino sees a considerable swing between day and night temperatures, which helps concentrate flavors and fashion fresh and mineral wines.

Vineyard Notes: Vigne della Brà is one of Filippi's prized crus. The vines were planted in the 1950s and are between 60-70 years old.

Winemaking Notes: Garganega grapes are harvested by hand in small crates and gently pressed. Fermentation occurs spontaneously with indigenous yeast (pied de cuve ) in stainless steel tanks. Malolactic fermentation happens naturally. The wine ages 14 months on fine lees with infrequent lees stirring. The estate’s cellars are perfectly insulated by centuries-old stone walls, and natural temperature fluctuations are the norm during aging. The wine is clarified naturally via cold settling. SO2 additions are extremely minimal.

Tasting Notes: Vigne della Brà shows enticing aromas that are similar to the Castelcerino but slightly more refined and mineral-driven on the palate. Pair this wine with all kinds of seafood.
