Soave Classico Castelcerino Filippo Filippi MAGNUM, organic, fresh, leesy, minerally. Castelcerino is the entry level wine from Filippi but is far from basic. 100% Garganega from 70 year old vines, fermented with natural yeast at a cool temperature. This wine is a pure expression of the excellent terroir it comes from and shows that Garganega can make really elegant and fresh wines and doesn't need beefing up by oak ageing. It spends 4-6 months on the lees, giving it a medium straw colour with a light slightly earthy but fresh aroma of white fruits and apple blossom with great minerality on the palate and a persistent finish. Lovely wine for summer drinking with fish, salads and light pasta dishes. Organic production also means very low sulphur use and only at bottling. Fantastic terroir wine, purity and terroir with no funkiness. This Magnum is perfect for a dinner party! We have 1 Magnum of 2014 left, nicely mature and drinking very well.
