Producer’s Background:
Founded in 1986, Feudi di San Gregorio has played a central role in redefining southern Italian wine through a modern yet deeply respectful approach to indigenous varieties. Under the ownership of Antonio Capaldo and the technical leadership of winemaker Pierpaolo Sirch, the estate emphasizes site expression, precision viticulture, and thoughtful restraint in the cellar. The 2022 vintage benefited from a warm but well-balanced season, allowing the team to harvest Falanghina with excellent aromatic definition and natural tension, hallmarks of the house style when conditions align.
Serving Suggestions:
Serve well chilled at 8 to 10°C in a medium-sized white wine glass to highlight its lifted aromatics and mineral drive. This wine pairs beautifully with grilled seafood, shellfish, light pasta dishes with citrus or herb accents, fresh salads, and soft, young cheeses.
