De Filippo Collection

Another marvelous fragment of this undiscovered tradition is offered by the walls of a Roman Castrum, where every single bottle is still individually turned by human hand, one after the other under the supervision of the De Filippo family members.

Bottles are stored in the corridors of the castle, and each and every single one of them is looked after and turned by hand by senior members of the De Filippo family. No mechanical invention could ever replace the knowledge and the wisdom acquired over the years of a lifetime. Like an ancient clockwork across decades and centuries, the tradition of Franciacorta winemaking in the De Filippo winery sees each single bottle individually followed while aging.

De Filippo, founded back in 1906 is the oldest winery in Franciacorta, and Mr. Domenico De Filippo, is not only keeping this tradition alive but is also hand turning every single bottle creating a product which is simply unique. Traditions and knowledge have been kept alive over the years generating an extraordinary selection of products, and limited number of exclusive bottles which are left to sleep inside a piece of history.

The cellars of the De Filippo winery are located in the foundations of the castle, protected by bricks and stones assembled by Roman Legions under their commanders, during a moment in history which saw the Empire facing the barbaric invasions. And precisely those very same walls and secret corridors are used to store this exclusive selection of products, tradition, and flavors. Wine bottles are left to rest inside the Roman Castrum which preserves a constant temperature and humidity and shelter the barrels and the bottles of this precious gift the earth provides.

We are proud to introduce the “De Filippo Collection”, a special edition consisting of a limited number of bottles personally selected by Mr. Domenico De Filippo and Mr. Carlo De Filippo. An exclusive collection, developed to share the wonderful taste and original traditions of Franciacorta Region. A product created and designed for a selected and restricted audience capable of sharing the emotions of a vinification process which is part of a tradition started back in 1906.
