All rights reserved. The Taurasi region above Naples in Southern Italy is almost synonymous with the Mastroberardino winery, which makes a lot of it and does so very well. Feudi di San Gregorio is a revelation, a wine with the complexity and elegance to compete on its own terms with the generally more highly regarded wines of Italy's north. It's made from the Aglianico grape, an ancient variety also showcased in the Paternoster Aglianico del Vulture that I tasted last month. It's a clear, dark ruby color.
Substantial acidity forms a sturdy structure, with soft tannins barely evident beneath the fruit.
Very fine wine. Pleasant melon and grassy scents. This Veronese white is said to be a cousin of Soave, but I find it a lot more interesting than most of its kin. Vin DiVino, Chicago. E-mail me your tasting notes , and I'll consider adding them to this page.
