Azienda Agricola San Salvatore
Pian di Stio Paestum Fiano
Disappointing Fiano. Strong notes of alcohol and little to recommend it. This wine lacked the creamy and oxidative flavors I expect from Fiano. Skip!

Jun 25th, 2022Hereโs a wine made from 100% Fiano grapes by San Salvatore. Itโs called Pian di Stio; named after a plateau located on the grounds of this estate. It hails from Paestum IGP in the Campania region of Southern Italy. ๐ฎ๐น ๐ฎ๐น
I love imagining the herd of 450 water buffaloes roaming amidst the vines and olive groves on the San Salvatore estate, which is farmed organically. ๐ฆฌ๐ฆฌ These buffaloes (an image of which is featured on the label) are also responsible for the estateโs buffalo mozzarella that would undoubtedly pair perfectly with this wine. ๐๐๐
๐ This wine is medium lemon and has elegant, youthful aromatics of melon, tart white peach, apple, pear, lemon pith, chamomile, also white pepper, fresh basil, and pine nuts. ๐ On the palate it is dry, has medium(+) acidity, a medium body, medium alcohol, and medium intensity of flavors consistent with the nose. It is crisp and balanced with a medium finish. ๐
Despite its crispness, it has a richness and texture that give it more body than one would expect. The alcohol is 13.5% ABV. The grapes used to produce this wine underwent six hours of cold maceration (cryomaceration) and were then fermented in stainless steel.
