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. 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 Taurasi comes from 15–20-year-old vines that are grown between 1,000-1,600 ft above sea level with southern and southwestern exposures. 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.
Aging
36 months minimum. The wine is aged for 22 months in medium-toasted French barriques, and then 14 months refinement in bottle prior to release.
Fermentation
Manual harvesting begins during the third week of October. After de-stemming and pressing, the must macerates and ferments in stainless steel tanks for 15 days at a controlled temperature of 79 degrees Fahrenheit. Malolactic fermentation in wood.
