I Pentri Pietra della Volpe 2012
A monumental red for technical precision and territorial charisma. The olfactory profile alternates between evolved dark fruits and tertiary, mineral notes of extreme refinement. On the palate, it is dense, savory, and characterized by a masterful balance between the strength of the tannin and the verticality of the sip. A demonstration of style that defines the greatness of signature Aglianico..
I Pentri Pietra della Volpe 2012
The 2012 "Pietra della Volpe" from I Pentri is a monument to Aglianico del Sannio, a wine that originates on calcareous and clay soils in Castelvenere. Dionigi Mezza has crafted here a red of primordial power, yet capable of whispered finesse thanks to a slow and meticulous evolution. The 2012 vintage produced vibrant material, which today, after fourteen years, expresses itself with masterful balance. On the nose, it is a concert of rare elegance: clear notes of cherry in spirit, dried plum, and ash merge with deep hints of dark tobacco, cocoa powder, old leather, and a mineral trail that recalls flint and scorched earth. On the palate, it is sumptuous in its severity; the entry is commanding, dominated by a dense, noble tannin now perfectly integrated, unfolding toward a savory, endless finish with an interminable aromatic persistence, characterized by aristocratic balsamic freshness.
