Overview
Feudi di San Gregorio was established in 1986 in Sorbo Serpico, a tiny village in Campania’s Irpinia region, near Mount Vesuvius, and owned by the Capaldo family from Irpinia. This highly acclaimed winery Encourages us to rediscover the identity of Mediterranean flavors through indigenous grapes that reach their full potential with their modern winemaking approach. Feudi di San Gregorio’s Greco di Tufo is grown between at 1,400 – 2,300 ft above sea level in deep, finely-textured, moderately alkaline and very calcareous soil. “Tufo” is not only the town, but it also means “chalk”, which gives an incredible character with a mineral taste that pairs perfectly with raw fish, bufala mozzarella and white meat dishes.
