Sweet spice, resting on a bed of cherry liqueur and surrounded by violet petals. With every passing minute cocoa and putty rubber are clearly arising, with no exclusion of a hint of sweet tobacco. On the palate licorice shows up, worthily accompanied by cherry liqueur.

Description
Molise

Molise is a region of Southern Italy. Until 1963, it formed part of the region of Abruzzi e Molise. The split, which did not become effective until 1970, makes Molise the newest region in Italy.

It is Italy’s second smallest region after the Aosta Valley – and the second-least populated. Situated south of Abruzzo, it is bordered by Puglia to the east, Lazio to the west and Campania to the south.

Covered by 340,000 hectares of vineyards, Molise is the 4th smallest wine region in Italy. Montepulciano is from far the main grape variety with almost 50% of the production.

Until not long ago, Molise wineries have always focused on local consumption, with large productions without denomination. In recent years, the situation has slowly started to change. The local winemakers are also re-evaluating some interesting native vines, such as Tintilia.

Catabbo

Cantine Catabbo has been established in 1997 for fun by Vincenzo Catabbo in planting 0.5 hectare in San Martino in Pensilis, province of Campobasso, viewing the Adriatic Sea.

Since 2004, his children have been involved with ambition to upgrade the activity in creating a modern cellar, paying especial attention to the enhancement of the quality of the wines produced.

In this project, the rediscovery and vinification of native variety “Tintilia”, takes on a primary role.

From 2019 all the production is entirely Certified organic and wines are vinified with indigenous yeasts.

Nowadays, Cantine Catabbo is about 40 hectares of vineyards. The wines are more and more recognized by international critics and public all over the world.
