Feudi
di San Gregorio
Here, in the shadows of Mount Vesuvius
where the city of Pompeii and its ancient vineyards lay
two millennia ago, the imposing Feudi di San Gregorio estate
boasts state-of-the-art facilities and the support of esteemed
enologist Riccardo Cotarella. These wines and those of estates
like Mastroberardino, Vestini Campagnano, Galardi, and Imparato
focus on the antiquity of the area, displaying the elegance
of traditional Italian wines while supporting a modern tone
that infuses the microclimate’s unique altitude and
soil. The legendary volcano eruption left a sandstone and
marl soil laden with mineral-rich deposits of volcanic ash
that impart distinctive aromas and flavors to the grapes.
As a result, Feudi di San Gregorio has received international
high scores for its wines that are made from the native
Aglianico, Fiano, and Greco in various styles.
Serpico is the critically acclaimed signature wine of
Feudi di San Gregorio. Deep, powerful, and concentrated,
this wine has great balance and quality that ages well
in the cellar. Another star from Feudi di San Gregorio
is Patrimo, originally thought to be Aglianico, but now
believed to be a clone of Merlot - the grape is being
tested at the University of Milan to ascertain the precise
variety.
