Soave Castelcerino Scaligeri, 2024

Lighter and stonier than the Soave most people remember - old vines on volcanic hills high above the town, and an easy 11%.

A Soave from the highest vineyards in the zone, made by Filippo Filippi in the hamlet of Castelcerino from old Garganega vines on volcanic basalt. Lemon and green apple with a touch of melon, a stony, slightly salty edge and a soft, fine texture. Light on its feet at 11%, fresh and tingling, and it can show a faint haze because it is barely filtered.
