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.

Vinous (90)One of the many very successful 100% merlot wines made in Italy today, this wine created an unbelievable stink a few years ago when it won a major award, and then someone pointed out that it couldn't legally have been made in that part of Campania as merlot wasn't an allowed grape variety there. All the controversy has since cleared up, leaving us with a monumental merlot that is held in high esteem everywhere. Almost black in color. Redolent of licorice, coffee liqueur, dark chocolate, overripe plum and red and bing cherry jam. Supple and silky enough to be enjoyable already; shows dark chocolate and roasted coffee bean notes as well as an attractive smokiness. Finishes extremely long, with massive tannins. A bit more finesse would only add to the pleasure of the experience. |
