Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, August 2010

The 2003 is a fascinating Serpico. The wine boasts impressive concentration in its dark rich fruit. This is an incredibly primary Serpico with little in the way of tertiary development. Ideally it is best left alone for...

Wine Enthusiast, February 2008

A beautiful wine: sweet cherry and berry fruit nuances are woven within threads of vanilla toast and ash. Despite the firm and penetrating mineral element this wine is actually very plush soft and round and it delivers...

Wine Spectator, July 2006

A sturdy chewy Aglianico with bright berry fruit mingled with floral mineral and sweet tobacco notes. Medium- to full-bodied with an intense bead of fruit firm young tannins and a long ultraclean mineral finish. Slightly...

Feudi di San Gregorio is the work of two Irpinian families, Capaldo and Ercolino, who founded the estate in 1986. It lies in the tiny village of Sorbo Serpico in the province of Avellino and is renowned for its focus on innovation, commitment to quality, and dedication to the restoration of historic grapes that reflect the heritage of local viticulture.

The estate offers a wide range of red, white, and sparkling wines. The fruit of their first vintage was made into Nobellum, followed by Fiano de Avellino and Greco di Tulfo in 1992. After two years, they added Taurasi made with Aglianico grapes to immediate success both in the marketplace and with critics.

What makes their wines unique are their extraordinary vineyards and the richness of their terroir: calcareous and volcanic soils create the ideal conditions for viticulture.

From a beginning of about 30 hectares, the estate now has over 300 hectares today. The original vineyards in the zone of Sorbo Serpico are joined by the vineyards of Tufo, Taurasi and Santa Paolina, perched on hills ranging from 1,150 to 2,300 feet. Soils include both calcareous and volcanic.

This release from Feudi di San Gregorio is made from ‘Dal Re Vineyard’ Aglianico. The wine is fermented in stainless steel, and aged 18+ months in large and small barrels, then held an additional 12+ months in bottle.

The wine has a ruby red color and delivers a complete bouquet of cherry jam, sweet spices, licorice, coffee and cacao. It is balanced in the mouth, with spicy minerality and great persistence.
