This barrel-aged red wine is produced from the same grapes as Montescudaio Rosso, which is synonymous with Sangiovese (50-100%), and the regulations allow the addition of up to 50% other, local, red grapes. In other words, there's plenty of room for variety, thus making a general description quite challenging.
Nevertheless, the color is ruby red with violet shadows. The aroma is ample and complex, and the taste is warm, harmonious and persistent.
Mandatory aging is 2 years, of which at least 3 months must be in the bottle.

The Molise region has historically been so neglected that you can hardly find the origin of its name, beyond that it's believed to have originated from the Middle Ages, where a Normann family, the Moulins, owned large portions of the area as a county.
