Biferno DOC is a robust red wine with a rich, ruby-red color. It has a complex aroma that combines hints of ripe red fruits, spices, and a touch of vanilla. On the palate, Biferno DOC presents a full-bodied, harmonious taste with a good tannic structure and balanced acidity. The finish is persistent and pleasingly dry.

History

The Biferno DOC was established in 1983, but the history of wine production in the region dates back to the Roman times. The name 'Biferno' comes from the river that runs through the region, reflecting the importance of the local geography to the wine's character. The wine is largely produced from Montepulciano and Aglianico grapes, which have been cultivated in Molise for centuries.

Geographical Production Area

Biferno DOC is produced in the Molise region, specifically in the hilly terrain that stretches along the Biferno River. The region has a temperate climate with significant temperature fluctuations between day and night, which contribute to the complexity of the wine's aroma and flavor. The soil is predominantly clayey and calcareous, providing excellent drainage and contributing to the wine's distinctive mineral notes.
