I Pentri

I Pentri was founded in 2002 by husband-and-wife team Dionisio Meola and Lia Falato in the municipality of Castelvenere, Benevento. The name references the ancient Samnite tribe that historically populated this part of inland Campania. The winery's first commercial vintage was 2002, built on vineyard land inherited from the family's grandparents. Their son Alessandro Meola now works alongside them in both vineyard and cellar.

The estate farms 10 hectares of terraced hillside vineyards spread across Guardia Sanframondi, Castelvenere, and Vitulano, positioned between Monte Taburno and the southeastern Matese. All vineyards are certified organic and farmed with biodynamic practices. Grapes are harvested by hand. No herbicides, pesticides, or synthetic fertilizers are used at any stage.

Winemaking at I Pentri follows a minimal-intervention approach. Reds are fermented with wild indigenous yeasts; whites use indigenous yeasts as well. The Kerres Piedirosso undergoes maceration in stainless steel, followed by approximately one year of aging in French oak barrels. Wines are bottled unfined and unfiltered, with no chemical agents or mechanical processing used in the cellar.
