Campania is highly recognized by the tourists from all over the world, with the amazing attractions of Amalfi Coast, Mount Vesuvius and Capri island.
\nThere’s also a food scene to be discovered. From pizza-loving Naples to fresh fruits, vegetables and cheeses in the countryside.
\nThe wines of Campania were originally intended as food-friendly table wines but things changed a few decades ago.
\nThe very local white, Greco di Tufo and Fiano di Avellino both have their own DOCGs. The red Aglianico, with deep dark cherry flavors, savory spices and leathery goodness, got its DOCG as Taurasi.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”6431″ img_size=”400×200″ alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
Feudi di San Gregorio was established in 1986 in Sorbo Serpico, a tiny village in Campania\u2019s Irpinia region, near Mount Vesuvius.
\nOne of the region\u2019s greatest producers, Feudi di San Gregorio, carries its well-earned reputation as one of Italy\u2019s most innovative wineries.
\nWhen many producers in Italy uprooted old vines in favour of international grape varieties, Feudi held fast to the local heritage and continued to cultivate native varieties like white Greco di Tufo, Fiano di Avellino, Falanghina and red Aglianico.
\nToday, their wine production includes a wide range of whites and reds, with the pride of their production being Irpinia Aglianico DOC \u201cSerpico\u201d, a powerful red made from their historical \u201cvineyard of the King\u201d.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
The wine comes from the historic \u201cDal Re\u201d (\u201cfrom the King\u201d), vineyard in deep soil originally from ash due to its proximity to Mt. Vesuvius.
\nA very intense red wine, aged in oak barrels and barriques for 18 months. The bouquet is rich and exuberant, of red fruits, balsamic herbs and sweet spices.<\/p>\n
“The 2012 Irpinia Aglianico Serpico comes from pre-phylloxera vines and the wine is aged in both new and neutral oak. Serpico represents Feudi di San Gregorio’s best fruit and the wine philosophy is modern and rich, stylistically speaking. Dark prune, blackberry, spice, licorice, tar, tobacco and balsam herb contribute to the complex bouquet. The mouthfeel is richly textured and velvety. This wine needs a few more years before the fruit reaches full focus.” – Wine Advocate, 93 Points<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n Grape:<\/strong> 100% Aglianico<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":6523,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"yoast_head":"\n
