In the heart of the Molise hills, the Pentro di Isernia DOC tells ancient stories and captures authentic landscapes in every sip. This denomination blends the vibrant character of Montepulciano (75–80%) with the elegance of Tintilia (20–25%), allowing up to 5% of other minor native varieties. The result? Red and Rosé wines with deep ruby color, delicate aromas, harmonious body, and velvety tannins.
The production regulations impose low yields (maximum 70%), a minimum alcohol level (11%, and 12.5% for Riserva), and more rigorous aging for the Riserva: at least two years, including six months in oak. The outcome is structured, deep wines, ideal for pairing with roasts, braised meats, game, and aged cheeses with refined elegance.
Pentro Rosso Riserva, in particular, stands out for its aromatic intensity and full body, with violet hues and solid structure. It’s a wine that connoisseurs appreciate, perfect for important occasions. The white version, fresher and more vibrant, is produced from Trebbiano (60–70%) and Bombino Bianco (30–40%), and is ideal for appetizers, seafood dishes, and light first courses.
But it is not just about the label—it’s about identity. The DOC is born from hillside vineyards cultivated using traditional methods: trained on trellises, pruned with care, and farmed with techniques that respect the land. Molise winemakers interpret these strict rules with dedication, enhancing the color, aroma, and flavor in every glass.
In each bottle, one can admire the authentic face of a Molise rarely flaunted but rich in flavor and personality. Sip by sip, Pentro DOC leads on a sensory journey through hilltop villages, history, and vineyards that shape the horizon. It’s an emotional experience, perfect for those who love wines with a deep connection to their land.
