DESCRIPTION:
Founded in 1986, Feudi di San Gregorio is today the symbolic mark of the enological renaissance of southern Italy and of a culture of drinking; a time of rediscovering the identity of Mediterranean flavours. A grape of great tradition, Aglianico is the most noble and important Vine of the south, representing a unifying matrix of the great southern reds and is ranked among the finest red Italian grapes. Feudi di San Gregorio is committed for years – with the technical consultation of the Universities of Napoli and Milan – in a project of recognition of the merit and rediscovery of this extraordinary grape
TASTING NOTES:
“The 2009 Taurasi is in a nice place in its evolution and is drinking very well at the moment. The bouquet shows budding tertiary signs of barbecue spice, dried cherry, dusty mineral and balsam herb. These various components come together in a tight and unified fashion. Time and bottle aging has also worked in favor of shaping silky, long tannins that are fine but firm in personality. This wine can be consumed now or can hold ten more years.” Monica Larner ~ April 29th, 2015
