Feudi San Gregorio
About Feudi San Gregorio
A leading light in the renaissance of Southern Italian wine, the Campania-based Feudi San Gregorio has been producing truly profound expressions of their exquisite terroir for over three decades. Founded with the singular mission to protect and further the local winemaking traditions of the area, this is a hidden gem of the highest quality.
Feudi San Gregorio is located in the Irpina appellation of Campania. Beautifully rugged and ancient, winemaking and vine cultivation have existed here alongside the olive trees and wild herbs for time immemorial. So unfathomably old is the presence of vines here that they were described by the Roman author Pliny some 2000 years ago!
Irpina’s terroir is totally unique, with an incredibly varied topography of mountains, hills and plains giving rise to a system of winds that brings cooling rains and steady breezes to temper the southern Italian sun. The result of this is an area conducive to gentle ripening and complex fruit.

I tasted this wine twice over the course of six months, in advance of its commercial release. The 2016 Pàtrimo is quite a wine and needs all the extra bottle time it can get. Indeed, I would suggest putting it at the back of your cellar for another 5 years (at least). It opens to a black and impenetrable appearance. This is an elaborate and beautifully constructed wine that is put together piece by piece like a jigsaw puzzle. When viewed as a whole, all those tiny pieces create a beautiful portrait of a grape as the protagonist and of a region as its context. This full-bodied Merlot has made important strides since I first tasted it. Today, it is more expansive and exuberant. It shows lots of volume and depth with elegance and finesse.Inc. VAT£361.24 -

The 2003 is a fascinating Serpico. The wine boasts impressive concentration in its dark, rich fruit. This is an incredibly primary Serpico, with little in the way of tertiary development. Ideally, it is best left alone for another few years, but readers fortunate enough to own this are in for a thrilling ride once the wine opens up a bit. Today it remains tightly coiled but full of potential. Anticipated maturity: 2013-2023.Inc. VAT£505.20 -
