After setting out as a homebrewer, Matteo established his Filodilana beer firm in 2016. Following a series of productive partnerships, in 2019 he eventually opened his own brewery in Avigliana, in the lower Susa Valley His production team is made up of Sara Pognante and Giorgio Masera in the and Alex Rampini, the sales manager.
The name Filodilana (thread of wool) evokes the idea of the winning post (according to the old tradition whereby the winner of race would run through a thread of wool), a vision which guides its every choice.
The production is based on a rigorous selection of ingredients, many of which, such as coffee, fruit and grape must, seasonal and with close ties to Piedmont.
Hence a dynamic product range, from the low-alcohol (2.5%) fresh and light Saltasassi, to Tosa, a Bavarian-inspired helles pale lager, to hoppier beers and the Fuori dal Gregge series, enhanced with fruit and grape must. It is rounded off by about 20 labels, frequent award winners at beer competitions, beers produced in partnership with others and for others.
The full range is on sale at Lambic, the brewery’s pub alongside a selection of Italian and overseas brews.
