Feudi di San Gregorio, a modern expression of a centuries-old tradition of passion and dedication to the land, is Campania’s premier winemaking estate. Situated in the tiny village of Sorbo Serpico in Campania's Irpinia region, this highly-acclaimed winery was established in 1986. Since then, it has aggressively tapped into the enormous potential of Campania's unique terroir and ancient varieties by placing a contemporary spin on indigenous grapes such as Fiano di Avellino, Greco di Tufo and Aglianico. The estate proprietors have pinpointed the region’s finest vineyards and work closely with consulting enologist Riccardo Cotarella, one of Italy’s most esteemed winemaking talents. The results have been remarkable – the wines of Feudi di San Gregorio have met time and again with stellar reviews and continue to garner international critical acclaim.

Production Area
From a cluster of small vineyards – Ponte, Apice, Torrecuso, Bonea and Montesarchio – all in hillside locations at altitudes ranging from 1,000 to 1,300 feet, in the vicinity of Monte Taburno within the Sannio district, close to the border with Irpinia.

Grape Varieties
