I've been focused on bottle weight and the repercussions that all that heavy glass has on our environment and our efforts for greater sustainability. This is one of the heaviest bottles I encounter each year (evidently made with a special mold), so I feel it's time to call it out in the hope that this wine can become a role model for others. Looking at the liquid contents inside the bottle, the Feudi di San Gregorio 2017 Pàtrimo pours forth with a beautifully velvety and saturated appearance. This pure Merlot shows an unexpected bouquet with notes of green curry leaf and rosemary with cherry confit and pressed blackberries. This hot-vintage red is abundant and richly layered.
