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. 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.

The soil is deep and originally from ash and fallen pumice, and the surface and deep layers are silty sand.  An excellent wine for drinking with the finest roasted red meats and poultry, such as duck.
