There are many impressive things about Giuseppe Pagano and his wine company, San Salvatore--a winery 100% powered by solar panels; their constant drive to lower CO2 emissions; their use of wine boxes made from recycled paper; the fact that they provide restaurants and a local luxury beach hotel with the variety of organic produce that they grow--among others.

The park is surrounded by the Tyrrhenian Sea with San Salvatore’s vineyards sitting amongst forests, ancient olive trees, and volcanic rocks shooting up from the earth.

“During a New York City wine seminar about the Ripasso wines of Valpolicella, I was reminded of my own journey through this past year of trying to stay true to my values and sense of character which are challenged every day.
