Salvatore Magnoni is a free spirit, rigorous, stubborn and rebellious. It is not for nothing that his ancestor Michele, a thoroughbred Cilentano, left everything and ran as a volunteer among the 'Thousand' in Sicily following Garibaldi. Salvatore, who inherited an ancient and historic 18th-century family palazzo that later became a winery and barrel cellar, has been a wine grower by vocation since 2003 on the Rutino hills, not far from the Agropolese sea, where he owns two hectares of Aglianico vines. He has also recently planted a few strains of fiano. But in the past he has devoted himself with passion above all to music as a record dealer and/or disc jockey.
He produces only three labels under a strict regime of 'natural' viticulture, pending organic certification, as well as an excellent evo oil from the Salella cultivar. Two bottles he has entitled 'Primalaterra', because '...the land belongs to those who work it. And I work my land in Cilento...'. Says Salvatore. (Source: Luciano Pignataro Wineblog)
