Pompeii's winemaking tradition continues with Feudi di San Gregorio.

In Pompeii, next to the archaeological excavations and the extraordinary discoveries, the vine will continue to be cultivated, as it has been for centuries. Feudi di San Gregorio , a renowned winery from Campania, will take care of the vineyards inside the Archaeological Park, the most visited in the world. This group, with deep roots in Irpinia and based in Sorbo Serpico, is a point of reference in viticulture, preserving the winemaking tradition of the region.

The new collaboration between the Archaeological Park and the group led by Antonio Capaldo will see the restart of the wine project linked to the Azienda Agricola Pompei, an initiative that unites agriculture and culture. The officialization of this partnership is expected soon, with the ambitious goal of bringing the legendary "Pompeian wine" back to life. "We are very excited," says Antonio Capaldo, "but there are still many steps to take to define the project and start it concretely."

The project involves the management of approximately 6 hectares of vineyards, with 1.7 hectares already cultivated in the ancient city and the aim of extending them up to 5.8 hectares between Pompeii and other sites in the Park such as Stabiae, Oplontis, Boscoreale and Longola. The vineyards will be dedicated to native vines of Campania and the winemaking will take place following modern methods, but respecting historical tradition. The Pompeii Nursery, the research and regeneration centre of the Agricultural Company, will continue to experiment on ancient vines such as Piedirosso, Caprettone, Fiano, Coda di Volpe and Greco di Tufo, present in the area even before the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 dC

The entire wine production process, from harvest to bottling, will be managed within the Park, with particular attention to refinement and aging, with the possibility of creating wines that represent the different "crus" of the area, such as those from the Casa Europa or Foro Boario vineyards.

The Pompei Farm, among fields, educational gardens and vineyards, promotes an agri-food production that recalls the techniques and characteristics of ancient Rome. As explained by Paolo Mighetto, responsible for managing the greenery of the Park, the goal is to revitalize a territory that since ancient times has been among the most fertile in the world, an integral part of the so-called "Campania Felix", a term coined by the naturalist Pliny the Elder, who lost his life in Stabia during the eruption of Vesuvius.
