Territory and wine style

The vineyard is located in Stio Cilento, in the heart of the Cilento National Park, in a natural setting rich in woods and mountains. This environment helps define the identity of the wine, which comes from a small plot and focuses on precision, elegance, and personality. The meeting of Pinot Noir and the Campanian territory gives rise to a red with a gastronomic vocation and a refined character, capable of expressing a modern style that is deeply connected to its place of origin.

Tasting notes

In the glass, it presents a deep ruby red with a garnet rim. The bouquet is articulated and multifaceted, with hints of red fruits, sour cherry, chocolate, smoky notes, underbrush, tobacco, pepper, and a hint of Marsala. On the palate, the wine shows important but fine tannins, good acidity, and a balanced structure that supports the sip without weighing it down. The result is an elegant, persistent red with great personality, where the aromatic complexity is accompanied by a harmonious flavor profile.

Recommended pairings

Pino di Stio pairs easily with flavorful and complex dishes, such as structured white meats, delicate roasts, mushrooms, aged cheeses that are not overly spicy, and light game. Its acidity and fine tannins also make it suitable for richer Mediterranean recipes, particularly when umami, spice aromas, or slow cooking enhance the wine's aromatic profile.

To best appreciate Pino di Stio, a serving temperature of 16-18 °C is recommended. If the bottle has been stored at room temperature, it may be helpful to open it a little in advance to encourage the evolution of the aromas and allow the wine to express itself with greater harmony in the glass.
