Pino di Stio IGP Paestum Rosso 2016

Pino di Stio IGP Paestum Rosso 2016 by San Salvatore Azienda Agricola is a pure Pinot Noir with a refined and territorial profile, born in a unique context of Cilento. It is an Italian red wine that combines elegance, aromatic complexity, and a balanced taste structure, ideal for those seeking original and distinctive labels.

Territory and wine style

This wine comes from Stio, in Cilento, within the Cilento National Park, in an area dedicated to biodiversity and characterized by a suggestive natural environment. The IGP Paestum Rosso designation enhances a production project capable of interpreting Pinot Noir with a modern style while respecting the identity of the territory. The result is an elegant, fragrant, and silky red, with a distinctive profile that moves away from the more predictable patterns of the category.

Tasting notes

In the glass, it presents a deep ruby red color, enriched by garnet reflections. The bouquet is articulated and multifaceted: red fruits, sour cherry, chocolate, smoky nuances, hints of underbrush, along with notes of tobacco, pepper, and a slight marsala note emerge. On the palate, it shows good acidity, balanced structure, and an important yet fine tannin, capable of providing lift without weighing down the sip. The taste is enveloping, elegant, and persistent, with a finish that recalls the complexity perceived on the nose.

Recommended pairings

Pino di Stio IGP Paestum Rosso 2016 pairs well with main courses of meat with a strong flavor but not excessively fatty, such as roasts, braised dishes, mushroom fillet, oven-roasted lamb, and light game. It is also interesting with medium-intensity aged cheeses and autumn dishes based on mushrooms, truffles, or dark sauces. Its freshness and structure make it versatile even with more refined preparations, where a red capable of accompanying without overpowering is needed.

Serving temperature

The ideal temperature to serve Pino di Stio IGP Paestum Rosso 2016 is around 16-18°C. If possible, it is helpful to open the bottle a little in advance to enhance the aromatic expression and soften the tannic component. A brief passage in a decanter can be considered only if the wine is tasted at a very young stage of its evolution.
