About Molise
Molise encompasses stunning beaches to the east, glorious mountain ranges to the north, south and west, and some of the best Roman and pre-Roman archaeology in all of Italy. Molisan cuisine is similarly rooted in history and tradition. Food here has its origins firmly in la cucina povera, so you can expect hearty, comforting meals that revolve around rustic ingredients. The region has a long-standing reputation for pasta and meat, and its fertile land is also home to olive groves used in the mass production of extra virgin olive oil. The rolling green hills between the Apennine mountains and Molise's coast are perfectly suited to grape growing and wine production. While the region has historically made wine mostly for local consumption, that is starting to change as Molise seeks to put its wines on the international stage. Molise's vineyards produce Aglianico, Sangiovese, and the Trebbiano and Montepulciano of Biferno for which the region is best known. Its crown jewel, however, is the red Tintilia del Molise.
