Italy is well-known for its many native grape diversity, which makes the wines an unvarying journey of discovery. The categorization structure for determining which wines are of the uppermost class is a quite fresh improvement. Appellations are given classifications by the management that have need of anywhere from no guideline whatsoever to control on how vines be irrigated and pruned and how much Italian wine a vineyard is permitted to manufacture.
History Founded in 1986
Founded in 1986, Feudi di San Gregorio is today the symbol of the enological Rinassance of Southern Italy and of a culture of wine-drinking; a time to rediscover the identify of Mediterranean flavours. On the hills around Sorbo Serpico, you'll enter a magical world, surrounded by unexpected streams, rare roses and a garden of aromatic herbs. The most wonderful surprise - however - awaits you in the cellar: the long barriquerie, the station for the production of their DUBL (prosecco), other niches evoking the tradition of their viticulture.
Italian Wine the Best in Europe
Perhaps no youth culture in Europe likes their wine more than do the Italians. Go through the center of any major city and you'll see countless young people with a glass of wine in hand. Knowing that what the next generation of Italian wine lovers are drinking this year may be what the world's Italophiles will be drinking next year, we polled a small cross-section of locals on their current quaffing preferences. While individual tastes inevitable vary, some trends did emerge. Southern grape varietals, such as Falanghina, Primitivo, Aglianico are being more and more appretiatiated and the wine Estate of Feudi di San Gregorio seems to be one of the more appretiated producers.

One local wine of Campania is Lacryma Christi, or "Tears of Christ". This wine is produced on the lower slopes of Mount Vesuvius and is available at the Feudi di San Gregorio Wine estate.

More About Campanian Whites
The category of Campanian Whites consists of Falanghina, Greco di Tufo, and Fiano di Avellino. All three wines are dry, crisp, and medium-bodied white wines from Campania and the Naples region of southern Italy. Falanghina is lemony and fruity, while Greco Di Tufo and Fiano di Avellino display more minerality and tend to have a bit more richness.
All three of these wines are quite dry and possess crisp, lemony acidity that pairs well with greens dressed in citrus vinaigrette and other vegetables such as eggplants, zucchini, peppers, and herbs. All three of these Campanian Whites make excellent accompaniments to seafood, but Greco di Tufo in particular pairs wonderfully with calamari and sautéed prawns. Tangy pecorino and mozzarella di bufala cheeses are also natural partners with Campanian white wines.
