Production of Capranera Fiano by Azienda Agricola San Salvatore

The grapes for Capranera Fiano - Azienda Agricola San Salvatore come from carefully selected vineyards in Campania. The climate shapes its character: warm, sun-drenched days allow the Fiano grapes to ripen fully, while cool nights ensure freshness and clarity in the aromatic profile. The proximity to the sea brings delicate saline notes and a pleasant breeze to the vineyards, giving the grapes impressive expressive power.

The soils of the region are diverse. Volcanic influences combine with calcareous and clay layers. This special combination provides ideal conditions for Fiano: the vines root deeply, the soils retain moisture and release it in a controlled manner, while the mineral-rich subsoil lends the wine its fine, characteristic spiciness.

The grapes are harvested with great attention to their aromatic development and level of ripeness. Only fully ripe berries make their way to the winery. The winemakers take care to work as gently as possible in the vineyard so that the Fiano grapes retain their clear, varietal character. Selective harvesting ensures that only the finest fruit is processed.

In the cellar, Azienda Agricola San Salvatore relies on gentle processing. The grapes are pressed quickly to preserve their freshness and delicate floral aromas. The must ferments under temperature-controlled conditions, usually in stainless-steel tanks, allowing the pure fruit, the subtle white-blossom notes, and the elegant structure of the grape variety to take center stage. If oak is used at all, it is employed only very subtly so as not to overshadow the clarity of the Fiano.

During maturation on the fine lees, the wine gains its creamy texture and additional complexity. Regular stirring of the lees lends the wine body and depth, harmonizes the lively acidity, and lengthens the finish. The winemaker’s style is precise, detail-oriented, and consciously minimalist: the grape variety and the terroir of Campania always remain the main protagonists in the glass.
