Feudi di San Gregorio is the largest family-owned winery in southern Italy, set above the Irpinian hills at Sorbo Serpico in the province of Avellino. Founded in 1986 by the Capaldo and Ercolino families, the estate works around 300 hectares of vineyard planted to native Campanian grapes, primarily Aglianico, Fiano di Avellino, Greco di Tufo and Falanghina. The current cellar, designed by Japanese architect Hikaru Mori and opened in 2004, holds both Equalitas and B Corp sustainability certification.

Book this experienceThe winery sits on the Cerza Grossa hilltop above Sorbo Serpico, an Irpinian village 35 minutes east of Avellino and roughly an hour from Naples. The Capaldo and Ercolino families launched Feudi in 1986 with a focused brief: lift the quality bar for Campanian wine and put the region's indigenous grapes back into the international conversation. The estate now manages around 300 hectares of vineyard spread across more than 800 plots, ranging up to 700 metres in altitude on marly-calcareous soils that favour late, structured ripening. The production palette is built around four Campanian benchmarks. Taurasi DOCG and Irpinia Aglianico DOC anchor the reds, with Aglianico from old vineyards including the Piano di Montevergine cru. Fiano di Avellino DOCG and Greco di Tufo DOCG carry the whites, joined by Falanghina del Sannio DOC and a Campania Rosato IGT made from Aglianico. The DUBL line, launched in 2004 with consultancy from Champagne maker Anselme Selosse, applies the metodo classico to Greco and Falanghina with 38 to 42 months on the lees. The present cellar, inaugurated in 2004, was drawn by Japanese architect Hikaru Mori, with interiors and the long-running label artwork by Massimo and Lella Vignelli. The site is built for visitors as much as for production: a long barrel cellar holds the reds, an aromatic herb garden and rose terraces sit above the parcels, and the on-site Ristorante San Gregorio serves Hirpinian cooking alongside the wines. Borgo San Gregorio, the affiliated wine resort in the village, adds rooms for guests who want to stay overnight. Feudi is one of very few Italian wineries to combine both Equalitas corporate certification (2021) and B Corp status (2022), and reports its impact annually under the Tenute Capaldo group. Vineyard practice rules out herbicides between the rows, encourages biodiversity in cover crops and herb gardens, and routes solar power and recycled water through the cellar. The estate describes its philosophy as drawing on organic and biodynamic principles, although the vineyards are not currently certified organic. On italianwines.co.uk you can currently track the core lineup: Taurasi DOCG, Fiano di Avellino DOCG, Greco di Tufo DOCG, Falanghina del Sannio DOC, Lacryma Christi del Vesuvio DOC, Irpinia Aglianico DOC and Campania IGT cuvees including the San Greg rosato and a Piedirosso. Cross-region bottles from the Tenute Capaldo family, including Primitivo di Manduria from the Puglian Ognissole estate, also appear under the Feudi label.
