Discovering the wine region of Molise
Molise is a mountainous region in South-central Italy, delegated as DOC in 1998. It is a relatively small region, especially when compared to its neighbors Abruzzo and Lazio to the North and Campania and Puglia to the south.
Molise is considered an obscure region, since winemaking dates back to 500 BC, but it only gained independence as a wine region in the latter half of the 20th century. Overshadowed by its neighbor, Abruzzo, of which it was politically a Part until 1963 (Abruzzi e Molise), Molise finally got three of its own DOCs, Biferno and Pentro di Isernia, in the 1980s, then Tintilia del Molise in 2011.
About two percent of Molise's wine production is DOC quality. Biferno wines are produced in the province of Campobasso and include reds, whites and rosés.
