Feudi di San Gregorio Taurasi DOCG

Taurasi, Italy

The accessible face of serious Taurasi — Feudi di San Gregorio's benchmark Aglianico from the Irpinia volcanic clay hills, aged 24+ months in oak. Dark cherry, blackberry, iron mineral, tobacco, and the structured elegance that makes Feudi's wine the best introduction to Taurasi DOCG for international collectors. More approachable than Mastroberardino's Radici but develops beautifully over 10 years.

Pairing intelligence

• main: The Neapolitan Sunday tradition of all-day ragu and Campania's finest red — Taurasi's iron tannin structure matches the extraordinary depth of a 4-hour ragu; the wine's dark cherry mirrors the ragu's concentrated tomato-meat fusion
• main: The Campanian islands' goat tradition and mainland Campania's finest red — Taurasi's iron and dark cherry bridges the goat's distinctive flavour; white wine braise mirrors the wine's acidity; tomato and herbs bridge the wine's complexity
