The 2024 San Salvatore 1988 Trentenare Paestum Fiano is a vibrant and characterful white wine from Paestum in Campania, southern Italy. Produced from 100% Fiano grown in the Cannito vineyards at around 150–210 metres above sea level, the vines benefit from a sunny south-west exposure and clay-limestone soils. The wine opens with expressive aromas of peach, white plum, mandarin, apple and fig, layered with Mediterranean herbs and subtle floral notes.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied, fresh and beautifully energetic, with ripe orchard and stone fruit balanced by vibrant acidity and a distinctive saline mineral character. The grapes undergo a short cold maceration before fermentation in stainless steel, followed by six months ageing on fine lees, adding texture while preserving freshness and varietal purity. The finish is long, savoury and citrus-driven, capturing the warm Mediterranean personality of Fiano while retaining excellent freshness and precision.
Ben's Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for anyone wanting to explore a serious yet approachable expression of southern Italian Fiano. Trentenare combines ripe Mediterranean fruit with refreshing acidity and a salty, savoury edge, making it particularly versatile at the table. Enjoy well chilled now or over the next 3–5 years. Pair with buffalo mozzarella, grilled prawns, calamari, seafood pasta, roasted fish or light Mediterranean dishes.
