Feudi Di San Gregorio Italian Red
Aglianico from Irpinia, poured in Commack for thirty years.
The story behind Feudi Di San Gregorio
Feudi di San Gregorio was founded in 1986 by the Capaldo and Ercolino families, who put money into Irpinia partly to rebuild the province of Avellino after the 1980 earthquake. The vineyards sit between 350 and 600 meters in volcanic, sandy soil across roughly 800 separate plots. That sand is why some ancient parcels survived the 1910 phylloxera outbreak, and the estate still farms ungrafted pre-phylloxera vines.
The reds are built on Aglianico, an old Campanian grape with dense structure and a long life. The house is a Società Benefit holding Equalitas and B Corp certification, and a founding member of the Comitato Grandi Cru d'Italia. We have poured these bottles across this counter for years.

Which Feudi Di San Gregorio is right for you?
The entry point here is honest. Rubrato and Primitivo both sit at $16.98, and Falanghina is $16.99, which is real Aglianico and real Campanian white for under twenty dollars a bottle. Step up to Avellino at $21.99 and you get more grip and more savory depth for a few dollars more. The upper tier, Taurasi and Serpico, runs into the $35 to $95 range depending on the release and the vintage, and those are wines you decant and give an hour. Buy Feudi Di San Gregorio online and pick it up curbside in Commack.
Stainless steel aging keeps the fruit bright, so it drinks well without a decant.
Firm Aglianico structure stands up to braised beef and hard Pecorino.
Under seventeen dollars, so you can buy a case and not think twice.
