Here, in the shadows of Mount Vesuvius where the city of Pompeii and its ancient vineyards lay two millennia ago, the imposing Feudi di San Gregorio estate boasts state-of-the-art facilities and the support of esteemed enologist Riccardo Cotarella. These wines and those of estates like Mastroberardino, Vestini Campagnano, Galardi, and Imparato focus on the antiquity of the area, displaying the elegance of traditional Italian wines while supporting a modern tone that infuses the microclimate’s unique altitude and soil. The legendary volcano eruption left a sandstone and marl soil laden with mineral-rich deposits of volcanic ash that impart distinctive aromas and flavors to the grapes. As a result, Feudi di San Gregorio has received international high scores for its wines that are made from the native Aglianico, Fiano, and Greco in various styles.
