An ancient hinterland
Irpinia, a historic region of the Apennines in Campania, is a unique wine-growing territory where vineyards have always coexisted with fruit trees, woodlands, olive groves, and aromatic herbs. A land that is at once rugged and gentle, with bold character and intense sensations. An ancient inland whose vineyards are already mentioned in the writings of Pliny, Columella, and Strabo, and whose native grape varieties – Fiano, Greco, and Aglianico – have been preserved for millennia.
The layout of Irpinia's soils is highly varied: an endless succession of mountains, hills, and plains, interspersed with waterways.
The orographic configuration creates wind patterns that gift the region abundant rainfall and shape a microclimate that sets it apart within Campania: the vegetation is rich and dense; winters, though short, are harsh and snowy, and summers are mild and lingering.
Our story began in 1986 in Irpinia, in central Campania – mountainous, rainy, often blanketed in snow in winter. A South unlike the classic stereotypes, with a great winemaking tradition and mineral-rich soils.
Here Feudi di San Gregorio built its history, rooted in the enhancement of extraordinary and still little-known native grape varieties – Greco, Fiano, Falanghina, and Aglianico – as well as monumental vines over two hundred years old. It did so with a strongly contemporary spirit, curious and open to cross-pollination with the worlds of creativity, such as design and art.
Campanian viticulture is nothing more than the result of countless "small stories" told by peoples who have preserved the oldest traditions – a mosaic of communities, valleys, and hills, memories and cultures that history has cemented over time. The wines of a land are not merchandise but stories of life. They express the hills from which they originated and tell the stories of the men who, generation after generation, crafted them.
FeudiStudi wines are born from the desire to tell – through uncompromising vinification and aging choices by Pierpaolo Sirch – the richness of our most expressive vineyards, selected each year from more than 800 available plots based on the characteristics of the vintage.
The resulting wines are therefore unique pieces, produced in limited runs (approx. 2,000 bottles) and not intended for traditional commercial channels. We chose an exclusive bottle, a re-edition of the first Bordeaux-shaped bottles of the 17th century.
Today, we produce several crus of Greco, Fiano and Aglianico (an average of 12 per year, 4 for each grape variety).
