Feudi di San Gregorio · Falanghina del Sannio DOC · 2024
Feudi di San Gregorio is one of the standard-bearers of modern Campanian winemaking, known for bringing the region’s ancient indigenous grapes to a wider audience. This Falanghina comes from the volcanic soils of Sannio in Campania’s Benevento province, where the variety has long been cultivated.
Brilliant straw yellow with green reflections, it opens with jasmine, acacia honey, lemon, lime blossom, subtle nutmeg, salt, and wet stone. Lively acidity keeps the medium-bodied palate fresh and precise, while a lightly honeyed texture carries into a clean, mineral finish.
Expert Reviews — James Suckling & Wine Enthusiast (2023 vintage)
James Suckling: 91 points
“Aromas of apples, precise fresh fruit and flowers. Light- to medium-bodied, it shows freshness with some silkiness and savory length. Full flavored for a falanghina.”Wine Enthusiast: 91 points
“The nose energizes with aromas of lemon, lime, white flowers and crushed rocks. The palate contrasts with a leading note of bitter almond skin, which pushes the citrus towards an orange peel feel, but a drizzle of honey provides balance and sets up a finish of orange blossom honey that unifies and creates a round, filling mouthfeel.”

Expert Reviews - Prior Vintages 2023, 2022
James Suckling 90 — "Fresh and pretty, showing lemon, lime blossom and a touch of nutmeg. Medium-bodied and lightly creamy in texture." | Wine Enthusiast 90 — "Lively acid turns citrus notes bubbly, contrasting with a honeyed, mouth-filling texture." (Vintage 2023).
Ned Goodwin MW writes: Textbook. Falanghina 101. Bitter lemon, tonic, strewn fennel seed, pistachio and a pithy stone fruit pucker at the seams. Dutifully fresh, impeccably poised, far from profound, but dangerously easy to drink. Drink now. - James Suckling 90. (Vintage 2022).
Eric Guido writes: The 2022 Falanghina mixes savory with sweet, as tropical citrus and wet stone give way to freshly sliced pears and hints of iodine. This is round and supple, nearly oily in feel, with brisk acidity to balance and vividly ripe orchard fruits that swirl throughout. A minty herbal thrust provides lovely freshness as the 2022 tapers off crisp and refreshing, leaving a tactile mineral crunch that lingers on. Drinking 2024 - 2027. - Vinous. (Vintage 2022).
Alison Napjus writes: This bright and juicy white shows zesty texture on the palate, where flavors of ripe yellow peach and pear, stone and mango are accented by aromatic elderflower and ginger. Drink now. - Wine Spectator. (Vintage 2022).
