Production of Pian di Stio Fiano by Azienda Agricola San Salvatore

The grapes for Pian di Stio Fiano - Azienda Agricola San Salvatore come from high-altitude vineyards in Campania. The interplay of sun-drenched days and significantly cooler nights gives the berries a slow, even ripening process. This climatic tension creates intense aromas, pronounced acidity, and impressive freshness in the finished wine.

The soils consist of a mixture of limestone, clay, and volcanically influenced layers. This composition shapes the wine’s mineral character. The vine roots penetrate deep into the subsoil, reaching different geological strata. This is how the pronounced, salty minerality characteristic of great Fiano wines develops.

During the harvest, absolute selection is the priority. The grapes are transported from the vineyard to the winery in small containers to keep the crop as intact as possible. Each parcel is handled separately so that its origin and character remain precisely expressed in the glass. Only perfectly ripe, aromatically concentrated grapes are used for the must.

In the cellar, gentle pressing follows, releasing the delicate aromas from the skins and pulp without extracting bitter compounds. Fermentation takes place at controlled temperatures in stainless-steel tanks, allowing the clear fruit and delicate floral notes to fully emerge. Maturation on the fine lees gives the wine additional depth, structure, and a silkier texture.

The style of San Salvatore winery combines precision with fidelity to origin. The maturation process is guided strictly by the personality of the grapes rather than by fashionable effects. In this approach, Fiano reveals its elegant, complex side: fruit-driven, salty, and marked by perceptible inner tension. Awards such as Gambero Rosso 3 Glasses, 91 points from James Suckling, Mundus Vini BEST OF SHOW, and 92 points from Robert Parker underscore the winery’s commitment to quality.
