I remember the first time I visited
Feud de San Gregorio. It was a few summers ago. I remember the jaw dropping moment as I walked through the red elevator doors that lead into an immaculate piazza I have been back several times since then, and each time I go, however, I learn something new about one of Campania's largets wineries. Last Friday evening, I took a group of wine lovers to visit Feudi dei San Gregorio in Sorbo Serpico (Av), less than an hour from Naples. After a visit and tour with Chef
Paolo Barrale of his Michelen Star Restaurant, we sat down with a glass of
DUBL Aglianico Rosè, a sparkling wine. Then
down, down, down to the cantina. 300 stainless steel vats. 3,000 French oak barrels. A glass of
DUBL Falanghina sparkling wine,
Rubrato Aglianico 2009,
Privelegio 2008, a dessert wine made with a blend of Fiano di Avellino and Falanghina and an amazing buffet prepared by
Marennà were waiting for us as well.
I think I saw a few jaws drop...
P.S. What did I learn this time? That
Rubrato comes from Latin...with a really loose translation, it means dark, red, strong . And it went really well with Marennà's pasta and potatoes with truffles.
