Tasting Notes:
Filippi's base multi-vineyard estate Soave named for the neighboring
town. Made from the Garganega grape which is rare for Soave, this wine
is a light straw color with brilliant clarity. Aromas of white flowers
in a rock garden. Very wet on the palate with umami
Chablis/Muscadet-like texture. The mineral and nutty finish is cleaned
up nicely for the fresh, zesty, natural acid. Grilled shellfish for
days, but don't forget the other white meat.

Rating: 88
Racy acidity imparts real zip to this balanced version with ripe papaya, honey, yellow plum, blood orange and saline-tinged mineral. Drink now through 2016.

Filippi 2011 'Castelcerino' Soave DOC
Rating: 88
Two impressive Soaves include the 2011 Soave Castelcerino, a 3,000-case, stainless steel-aged, crisp, seriously endowed, surprisingly lush textured and expansively flavored effort. This dry, medium-bodied white is loaded with notes of caramelized grapefruit, orange zest, lemon oil and wet rocks. Drink this attractive Soave over the next several years.
