Pintarei Brewery: The Craft Tradition of Sannio
Pintarei Brewery was founded in 2019 in Campoli del Monte Taburno, a small gem nestled in the province of Benevento, the beating heart of Sannio. Established by Fabio Caporaso, this artisanal venture is deeply rooted in the history and lush landscapes of the Vitulanese Valley, a region famous for its winemaking traditions but now also emerging as a hub for quality craft beer.
The name Pintarei comes from a creative fusion that perfectly reflects the brewery’s philosophy: on one hand, the 'pinta,' the traditional unit of measurement for beer, and on the other, the Greek word 'rei,' meaning 'to flow.' A beer that flows, in constant movement, dynamic and always evolving, like the very art of craft brewing that changes, adapts, and surprises.
The Art of Brewing Between Tradition and Innovation
The brewery is located in the premises of a picturesque early 20th-century farmhouse, where a historic stone cellar has been expertly renovated to host the most modern production technologies. This blend of past and future is evident at every stage of the process: simple but effective methods are combined with meticulous attention to raw materials to create beers full of character and distinctiveness.
Pintarei’s beers are a journey through classic international styles, reinterpreted with a unique touch that speaks of the territory and Italian creativity:
- Tripel: an intense and rich beer, with a complex and enveloping taste
- APA (American Pale Ale): fresh, aromatic, and with a strong character
- Saison: light but full of spicy nuances, perfect for warm seasons
- Scottish Ale: smooth and rounded, with sweet and comforting notes
Each label is the result of thorough research, starting from the selection of superior quality raw materials to the most careful fermentation techniques. The true secret of Pintarei, however, is the passion with which every beer is created: every bottle tells a story of dedication, professionalism, and love for the craft, which translates into an unforgettable sensory experience.
Pintarei Brewery thus represents not only a producer but a guardian of the artisanal culture of Sannio, capable of enhancing Made in Italy even in the world of beer, offering an authentic product full of identity. For those lucky enough to visit Campoli del Monte Taburno, a stop at the brewery becomes an opportunity to immerse themselves in genuine flavors, local traditions, and the contagious energy of those who make beer a true form of art.
