94 points “From a classic vintage the Feudi di San Gregorio 2016 Taurasi is a beautifully concentrated and shapely wine that is soft and generous in the right places but structured and firm in others. The wine offers a deeply layered bouquet with black cherry plum and dried cassis. You will also encounter tarry smoke and campfire ash. This is a polished and nicely assembled expression of the mighty Aglianico grape.” – Robert Parker
94 points “A savoury meaty full-bodied red with plenty of black cherry fruit peel sage and fresh tobacco leaf. Chewy integrated tannins are black tea notes on the finish. One of the best for a long time.” – James Suckling.
Aglianico is responsible for some of Italy’s most long-lived red wines. But due to the headline-grabbing popularity of some of wines made further north it remains somewhat under the radar. Feudi di San Gregorio’s Taurasi is in the words of Decanter Magazine “Aglianico at its best.” If a wine like this were made in Tuscany it would command an astronomical price especially in a magnum like we have here. But luckily for us Taurasi remains a wine that offers phenomenal value for money.
Matured in medium-toasted French oak barrels for around 18 months Taurasi presents a fragrant perfume and juicy notes of maraschino cherries mulled wine spices blackcurrants prunes cigar boxes and meat being cooked over barbeque coals. It’s a sensational wine to have on hand to wow guests at a dinner party especially when serving alongside roasted red meats ossobuco wild mushrooms bean stews or slow-braised poultry.
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.
