Molise DOC wines are primarily red, known for their deep ruby colors. They exhibit aromas of ripe red fruit, spices, and hints of tobacco. The taste can be characterized by its full-bodied richness, warm, well-balanced acidity, and considerable tannins, offering a persistent finish.

History

Molise DOC's history is deeply rooted in the agricultural traditions of the Molise region. Despite being one of the smallest wine-producing regions in Italy, Molise has been producing wines since the Roman times. The Molise DOC was established in 1983, and it's home to a number of wineries that have been handed down through generations, maintaining the traditional wine-making methods.

Geographical Production Area

Molise DOC is produced in the Molise region, located in the southern part of Italy. The region enjoys a Mediterranean climate, with hot, dry summers and mild, wet winters. The vineyards are often planted on the hilly terrains, which provide excellent sun exposure and well-drained soils, ideal for grape cultivation. The soil composition of clay and limestone contributes to the unique characteristics of the Molise DOC wines.
