Pian di Stio Evoluzione Fiano

A Fiano that shows what this southern Italian grape variety can achieve when given time and wood: complex, full-bodied, with a depth not necessarily expected from Campania.

San Salvatore is located in Cilento, one of the wildest and least developed parts of Campania. The winery cultivates its vineyards with a focus on indigenous grape varieties – Fiano is part of the DNA here. The Pian di Stio Evoluzione is a special project: grapes from a clearly defined micro-terroir around Stio, selectively harvested, and aged in French oak barrels.

In the glass, it shows an intense golden yellow color that heralds its aging time. On the nose, hazelnut and caramelized almond, plus vanilla from the oak aging and a hint of dried apricot. On the palate, full-bodied with a soft texture, well-integrated acidity, and a long, nutty, spicy finish.
