Saladini Pilastri

Saladini Pilastri


Based in the southern Marche, the family seat of the noble Saladini Pilastri family is near the town of Ascoli Piceno. It is situated in over 300 hectares of land, though less than half of this is down to vines. The limestone hills also host large olive groves as well as forest and scrub. This hot and dry landscape is ideal for the practice of organic viticulture and that is exactly the farming method employed here for ages. The family has been custodians of the land in this part of Italy for over a thousand years and has a deep respect for the environment where they and others live. They take such a long view that being sustainable takes no thought at all.

They produce a range of wines, but rarely the least expensive are some of the best value bottles we sell. Both red and white are classically styled central Italian archetypes. Falerio includes Trebbiano and Pecorino, which have herby and zesty fruit character, while Montepulciano and Sangiovese endow the red with ripe, dark and dusty cherry flavours. Quality control is evident at every stage of the operation from that organic farming, right through to the fact that only half of the production is bottled at the estate; the remainder is sold off in bulk.
