The 2010 Aglianico Rubrato is a bit more restrained and structured than the Lacryma Christi Rosso, but just as compelling. Dark red cherries, mint, licorice, spices and scorched earth meld together in the glass. This is another intense and pedigreed red from Feudi. Anticipated maturity: 2013-2018. Once again, Feudi impresses for the sheer breadth of their range. From top to bottom, this is a terrific set of wines from one of the benchmark wineries in Campania, and all of Italy, for that matter. Importer: Palm Bay International, Boca Raton, FL; tel.

The 2009 Aglianico Rubrato is fabulous. Cherries, white flowers, mint, game and ash are some of the notes that emerge from the Rubrato. Clean mineral notes frame the vibrant finish. Some rough edges remain, but it's hard to argue too much given the price tag. This is a great, budget-friendly Aglianico. Anticipated maturity: 2011-2017. Feudi di San Gregorio is one of the leaders in the modern-day Renaissance of Campanian oenology. Readers who want to learn more about the estate's history may want to reference my article 'The Noble Wines of Southern Italy' in Issue 190, which also includes verticals of the estate's flagships Serpico and Taurasi Riserva Piano di Montevergine. Unfortunately I was not able to taste the new release of the Riserva this year. For ease of reference I have included my note on Feudi's Aglianico del Vulture here, although the wine is, of course, from Basilicata. Importer: Palm Bay International, Boca Raton, FL; tel.

The 2008 Aglianico Rubrato is a beautiful wine and a terrific value as well. Ripe dark fruit, smoke, ash, earthiness and subtle notes of gaminess emerge from this mid-weight red. The tannins are just a touch firm, making the Rubrato a red that is best with food rather than on its own, but that is a relatively small critique for a wine at this price point. The Rubrato is a great introduction to Aglianico. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2014. Feudi di San Gregorio is coming back from a period in which it was essentially a victim of its own success. The winery’s early and numerous accolades plus fast, unbridled growth proved to be too much to handle. Today, under the leadership of proprietor Antonio Capaldo, Feudi seems to be much more grounded than in the past. Capaldo boasts an impressive resume, replete with world-class academic credentials and stints with Lazard in Paris and McKinsey in Italy. Despite his background, Capaldo remains humble, eager to learn and well aware of the family winery’s missteps in the past, all qualities which should serve him very well going forward. Noted agronomist Pierpaolo Sirch oversees the work in the vineyards and cellar now that Feudi is moving away from relying on consultants in favor of doing more in-house. The flashy, oak-laden style of previous vintages is gradually being phased out as Feudi relies more on the considerable pedigree of its vineyards. This will be a fascinating story to follow in the coming years. For now Feudi is still a work in progress, and in many cases, the entry-level wines provide more pleasure and varietal character than the higher-end bottlings.

Rubrato 由純凈圓滑的 Aglianico 釀制而成(為保持其新鮮的果味，該酒在不銹鋼桶而不是在橡木桶中陳釀)，它帶有烘肉卷和牛肉餅的味道，口感柔順，但單寧緊實(shí)。評分：88。

The 2007 Aglianico Rubrato shows terrific integrity in its solid core of fruit. This is an impeccably well-made wine with tons of concentration, even if some of the Aglianico character is overpowered by the oak treatment. Still, the wine offers excellent value at this price point. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2012. This is a beautiful set of entry-level wines from Feudi di San Gregorio, one of Campania’s most prominent estates.Importer: Palm Bay International, Boca Raton, FL; tel. (561) 362-9642
