San Salvatore 1988

A Commitment to Sustainability and Tradition

San Salvatore 1988 is a renowned Italian winery nestled in the heart of the Cilento region in Campania, near the ancient town of Paestum. Founded in 2006 by Giuseppe Pagano, the winery is built on a deep-rooted philosophy of sustainability and respect for the environment. The name "1988" marks the year Pagano embarked on his journey in hospitality and agriculture, laying the foundation for what would become a leader in organic winemaking.

The winery is celebrated for its organic and biodynamic farming practices, producing premium wines free from chemical pesticides and fertilizers. San Salvatore 1988 grows indigenous grape varieties like Fiano, Falanghina, Greco, and Aglianico, which thrive in the volcanic soils of the Cilento National Park. These wines are known for their vibrant flavors and ability to express the unique terroir of the region.

Eco-Friendly Practices and International Recognition

In addition to its winemaking, San Salvatore 1988 is dedicated to sustainable livestock farming, particularly the breeding of water buffaloes, which are used to produce organic mozzarella. These animals also help naturally maintain the vineyards, reducing the need for mechanical intervention. This holistic, eco-conscious approach has made San Salvatore 1988 a leader in the sustainable agriculture movement.

The estate’s wines, including "Jungano" (Aglianico) and "Trentenare" (Fiano), have earned international acclaim for their balance, elegance, and deep connection to the region's winemaking traditions. By blending innovation with tradition, San Salvatore 1988 stands out as a premier producer in Italy’s wine world.
