The floral and spicy Pietracalda Fiano di Avellino is a masterclass in elegance especially when poured from a glamorously fluted magnum that was designed by Massimo Vignelli. Maturation on the lees (the spent yeast from fermentation) for 4-5 months imparts a creamy texture and sophisticated spices to this gorgeous vegan-friendly white. Notes of wildflowers chamomile lemon and freshly picked stone fruit give it a spring-into-summer vibe while the minerality on the finish is so stylish it instantly has you reaching for another sip. Consider serving alongside crunchy salads grilled seafood or pasta al limone.
Feudi di San Gregorio is Southern Italy’s leading winery. Established in 1986 they’ve been creating some of the country’s most exciting wines for over three decades. Their viticulture and winemaking are overseen by Pierpaolo Sirch who is one half of Simonit & Sirch the expert pruning team that work with and advise the likes of Leroy Louis Roederer Ornellaia Hennessy Cognac Château d’Yquem Château Angélus Château Latour Château Ausone Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande Moët & Chandon Domaines Ott Torbreck Henschke Klein Constantia and many more. So although Feudi de San Gregorio may not be quite such a household name their wines sit alongside the world’s finest.
Feudi di San Gregorio is responsible for resurrecting the Irpinia appellation in the minds of wine lovers around the world. Vineyards in this area of Campania have coexisted with fruit trees woodlands olive trees and wild herbs since Roman times. Located in the Apennine Mountains the climate is more Nordic than what would traditionally be considered Italian and this creates high-acid wines that mature slowly and beautifully. The centuries-old vineyards that they work with render wines of thrilling complexity unlike any others to be found on the planet.
In 2021 Feudi di San Gregorio was awarded the Equalitas certification which officially recognises social environmental and economic pillars of sustainability through biodiversity carbon and water footprint and ecological cultivation practices. The winery in the town of Sorbo Serpico designed by the Japanese architect Hikaru Mori should be on the bucket list of any fine wine connoisseur. Its interiors were created by the designers Massimo and Lella Vignelli who also contribute to the winery’s stunning labels alongside other great artists because Feudi di San Gregorio believe that every bottle of wine is a work of art.
