Overview
Feudi di San Gregorio was established in 1986 in Sorbo Serpico, a tiny village in Campania’s Irpinia region, near Mount Vesuvius, by the Capaldo and Ercolino families from Irpinia. Named after the method of vine cultivation in Sannio at the end of the Roman Era called Falangs ("poles"), this Falanghina is ideal as an aperitif. It can also accompany various types of appetizers, plates of simple fish and vegetables as well as fresh cheeses. A medium intensity mouthfeel upon entry, crisp minerality, with hints of spice, light almond and a slightly bitter orange peel character.
Aging
5 months in stainless steel on the lees with an additional month in bottle prior to release.
Fermentation
Grape bunches are hand-harvested into 18 kilo crates during the latter half of September. The crates are then transported in refrigerated trucks to the winery. Bunches are individually selected and soft pressed followed by cold settling for 24-48 hours. The juice is cold-fermented in stainless steel vats and does not undergo malolactic fermentation.
