Molise, or del Molise, is the region's broad DOC, with Montepulciano reds and a long list of single-grape wines.
This is the umbrella DOC for everyday and varietal wine from the Molise hills.
Reds and rosés are at least 85% Montepulciano, and the same rule applies to each named grape. The list includes Falanghina, Fiano, Greco, Trebbiano, Chardonnay, Pinot grigio, Aglianico, Sangiovese, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. Some come as sparkling or passito, with Falanghina and Moscato the passito grapes.
A red labelled Riserva is aged for at least two years, at least six months of them in wood.
The grape zone is a long list of communes in Campobasso province, from the coast around Campomarino to the hills inland.
