"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."
Product Description:
"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 agricolas.
Already famous for his 500-head herd of Bufala and delicious Mozzarella, Giuseppe built a state-of-the-art winery where he marries the importance of tradition with the latest advances in winemaking techinques.
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 benficial humus. Vines are also protected from pest and disease with the careful use of copper and sulfur when necessary. " - Importer
