San Salvatore is located in the heart of the
Cilento National Park, near Paestum, Stio
and Giungano, 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-concious azienda
agricolas. From supplying their own power
needs with an onsite photovoltaic plant and
a biodigester, to reducing their carbon
footprint and emissions through innovative
processes. San Salvatore has excelled at
achieving sustainable living ideals.

In 2006 Giuseppe Pagano, a successful
entrepreneur and hotelier in the Paestum
region of Campania, created San Salvatore
1988 from a series of unique plots of land in
Cilento and various vineyards across the
region. The winery is named for Giuseppe's
firstborn son, Salvatore, born in 1988. Already
famous for his 500-head herd of Bufala and
delicious Mozzarella, Giuseppe built a stateof-the-art winery where he marries the
importance of tradition with the latest
advances in winemaking techinques. San
Salvatore's 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.
