Feudi di San Gregorio

Feudi di San Gregorio was established in 1986 in Sorbo Serpico, a tiny village in Campania’s Irpinia region, near Mount Vesuvius. One of the region’s greatest producers, Feudi di San Gregorio, carries its well-earned reputation as one of Italy’s most innovative wineries.

When many producers in Italy uprooted old vines in favour of international grape varieties, Feudi held fast to the local heritage and continued to cultivate native varieties like white Greco di Tufo, Fiano di Avellino, Falanghina and red Aglianico. All up, there are around 300 hectares (750 acres) of vines, covering a range of different terroirs.

The flagship wine is Serpico, an Irpinia Aglianico DOC red wine. The grapes come from century-old vines from the Vigneto Storico (historic vineyard). It spends 18 months in medium toast French oak barrels and 500-liter barrels.

The Taurasi Riserva DOCG Piano do Montevergine is not far behind in terms of renown, and there are also several other premium Aglianico wines. Feudi di San Gregorio also makes a range of other wines, including Greco di Tufo, Fiano di Avellino, Falanghina and Lacryma Christo Bianco, all of which are considered among the best examples available of each.
