Jungano Aglianico IGP Paestum 2020 San Salvatore

Jungano Aglianico IGP Paestum 2020 by San Salvatore Azienda Agricola is a Campanian red wine with an intense and harmonious profile, capable of combining the personality of Aglianico with a modern and pleasant drinkability. It is made from pure grapes and immediately conveys the connection to the territory of Paestum, offering an experience that combines ripe fruit, elegant spiciness, and a well-refined tannic structure.

Territory and wine style

The production takes place in the area of Capaccio-Paestum, in the Cannito locality, on clay-limestone soils and vineyards located between 150 and 210 meters above sea level, with a south-southwest exposure. These elements help define a Aglianico with a solid character but not excessively rigid, supported by careful maturation and delicate vinification. The aging partly in wood and partly in steel helps preserve freshness, balance, and aromatic clarity, without sacrificing the typical depth of the grape variety.

Tasting notes

In the glass, it presents a deep and intense violet-red color. On the nose, sensations of well-integrated fresh fruit emerge, accompanied by sweet spices and hints of cinnamon. The palate is rich, enveloping, and well-structured, with silky and mature tannins that support the drink without weighing it down. The fruity component remains vibrant, and the finish maintains a pleasant tension, making Jungano Aglianico IGP Paestum 2020 a balanced, expressive red with good persistence.

Recommended pairings

It pairs easily with flavorful dishes from Italian cuisine, such as roasted red meats, braised dishes, oven-baked lamb, game, and structured second courses. Excellent also with ragù, baked pasta, mushrooms, and aged cheeses. Its softness and well-integrated tannic structure make it suitable for rich but not excessively spicy preparations, where the wine can enhance intense flavors without overpowering them.
