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.
The word of the wine: Phylloxera
Aphid that came from America and ravaged European vineyards at the end of the 19th century. It lives on the roots of the vine, from which it pumps the sap. The only vines capable of resisting it had to be imported from the United States, and then grafted onto their root system the wood of traditional French grape varieties. Today, grafted vines are always planted.
