Organic / Biodynamci
We have been selling this wine for years, ever since it won our 2019 vintage Rosé Taste-Off! Made from organically grown Aglianico grapes, by one of the top producers in Campania. The first thing you will notice is the very cool-shaped bottle, the second thing will be the color of the wine - it is the color of Watermelon Jolly Ranchers! This Italian Rosato has red berry, citrus notes, and great depth, all resulting in the most compelling wine of the tasting. Crisp and bright, with great intensity and yet low in alcohol. If you want to step up your Rosé game, this is the wine to do it!
San Salvatore is located in the heart of the Cilento National Park, in the Campania region of southern Italy. With 149 hectares devoted to organically-farmed agriculture, including vineyards, olive groves, and crops that support their 550-head of water buffalo, San Salvatore has quickly become one of Italy's most environmentally-conscious Azienda Agricola.
San Salvatore's first harvest was in 2009, but their historic vineyards were planted by the Ancient Greeks with the same varieties that continue to flourish in this region today: Falanghina, Fiano, Greco, and Aglianico. This mountainous region of Campania has a high level of biodiversity and the soil is rich in minerals. The influence of the nearby sea and ideal sun exposure help to create an ideal microclimate for viticulture and other crops.
Deeply committed to preserving the delicate balance of the land, San Salvatore takes a special interest in cultivating the vineyards without synthetic products or genetically modified organisms and uses biodynamic preparations like horn dung that favor the natural fertility of the ground and the production of beneficial humus. Vines are also protected from pests and diseases with the careful use of copper and sulfur when necessary.
The winery even supplies its own power needs with an onsite photovoltaic plant and a biodigester to reduce its carbon footprint and emissions through innovative processes. San Salvatore has genuinely excelled at achieving sustainable living ideals and continues to set the standard for environmental practices in the Italian wine industry.

The 2023 Rosato Vetere Limited is a total pleasure on the nose, mixing sweet spices and strawberries with hints of candied lime. This is zesty in character, with crisp orchard fruits and green melon that swirl along a stream of vibrant acidity. A tinge of minerality lingers as the 2023 finishes incredibly fresh and long, leaving a gentle tannic crunch that makes for a lovely punctuation.

A pale and fresh rosé that has apple-blossom, grapefruit and pomegranate aromas. Crisp and medium-bodied with a light phenolic, pithy touch. Dry. Drink now.
