Filippi

1930s\nThe old vineyards of Garganega and Trebbiano di Soave now tended by the estate were planted as far back as the 1930s.\n\n### 2007\nFilippi became the first producer in Soave to receive organic certification.\n\nThe estate is also certified biodynamic by Demeter, the European standards body.

The estate lies in Soave's highest-elevation terroir, in the municipality of Castelcerino, at 400 metres above sea level. It is a secluded property surrounded by wild woodland, whose rich biodiversity is central to the estate's biodynamic philosophy. Technically, the estate lies just outside the boundaries of the Soave Classico zone and falls within the Soave Colli Scaligeri DOC. Vineyard plots are divided according to soil type: the "Castelcerino" plot has basalt and black volcanic rock; "Vigna della Bra" has more clay, along with basalt and limestone; and "Monteseroni" stands out for its chalk-rich limestone soils.
