Flora is I Pentri's top-selection Falanghina, sourced from a manual pick of the best fruit across their 10 hectares of terraced vineyards on the hillsides of Monte Taburno in Castelvenere, Benevento province. The wine is classified as Beneventano IGT. Grapes are farmed using organic and biodynamic practices with no herbicides, pesticides, or synthetic fertilizers, and harvested entirely by hand.
In the cellar, the wine is fermented with native yeasts in stainless steel and aged on the lees. It is bottled unfined with no added sulfur. The 2018 vintage shows a deep golden straw color. On the nose: crushed white peach, ripe mango, pear, and exotic florals with lemon-lime zest. The palate is full and silky in texture, driven by brisk acidity and saturating minerality with stone fruit at the core and a saline finish.
Falanghina Beneventana, the variety used here, is genetically distinct from coastal Falanghina Flegrea. Grown on the calcareous clay and sandstone hillside soils of Monte Taburno at inland Campanian elevations, it produces wines with more structure and acidity than its coastal counterpart. The Beneventano IGT designation covers the entire Benevento province, home to roughly 80% of Campania's Falanghina plantings.
I Pentri takes its name from one of the ancient Samnite tribes that inhabited this inland region of southern Italy. The estate was founded in 2002 by Dionisio Meola and Lia Falato, who brought over 20 years of prior farming experience to the project. Their son Alessandro Meola now works alongside them in vineyard and cellar.
