About

Molise

Molise is situated in south-central Italy and lies between the Apennine ridge and the Adriatic Sea. Nature, history, art, age-old traditions, and good food are the treasures of this still largely undiscovered region. Visiting Molise, you get that Eureka feeling of discovery, starting with its mainly mountainous and hilly layout, scored by the characteristic tratturi, the historic trails of seasonal migration of people and livestock that join the pastures of Abruzzo to those of Apulia.

Not to be confused with porchetta, pampanella is probably the most popular street food in Molise, consisting of marinated pork meat with sweet or spicy red pepper, garlic, salt, and vinegar, it's cooked in the oven and served in a bun. The name comes from the vine leaves in which the meat is wrapped before cooking.

Molise is divided into the two provinces Campobasso and Isernia. The most important white wine varieties are Chardonnay, Bombino Bianco, Falanghina and Fiano.
