Molise is a small and obscure wine region in central Italy, bordered by the southern regions of Campania and Puglia. To its north is Abruzzo, with which it shared a municipality till 1963, Abruzzi e Molise. Between these close north-central and southern cultural ties, this is a region that has historically been waiting to make its own cultural imprint. Wine-making has existed here since the pre-Roman times by various ancient tribes such as the Piceni, Samnites and Etruscans. Though it wasn’t until much later in the 20th century that its wines came to recognition.
Molise has only three DOCs, and its grape selections reflect its north-south identity crisis. Biferno, named for the river, produces mainly blends of rossos, biancos and rosatos. The main grapes are Trebbiano Toscano and Bombino for whites, and Montepulciano (the prevalent Abruzzo red grape) and Aglianico (common in Campania) for reds and rosatos. Pentro di Isernia also produces the same sorts of blends with the distinction Read more »

Di Majo Norante Sangiovese Terre Degli Osci IGT 2010
Snoothrank:
A little funky on the nose with lovely suggestions of dried orange peels, almond hulls, and beeswax over lightly toasty, chocolaty wild berry fruit. This is very well balanced in the mouth with lovely acidity that is very well integrated, lending this a bit of a blueberry character. Theres a fine bed of austere tannins, but the bright, fresh fru... Read More

Alverdi Pinot Grigio Molise 2010
Snoothrank:
Interesting toasty, sesame notes. Kinda of like halvah (which is not a complaint). Lemon and citrus notes cut through for some balance. I think with some sesame-crusted tuna and noodles this would be a fun match. Read More
