Vinica

Among the hills of Molise, in the areas north of Campobasso, lies the VINICA winery. At an altitude between 550 and 750 metres above sea level, the company is committed to sustainability and respect for the environment and local biodiversity. In fact, only organic farming methods and totally environmentally friendly methods are used here. The territory of the Molise Apennines offers an excellent basis for the cultivation of top-quality grapes. The approximately 30 hectares under vine, which become 220 if added to those of olive groves, fruit orchards and horticulture, have ideal sun exposure and a perfect temperature range, guaranteed by the alternation of night and day in almost mountainous areas. In addition, soils of a calcareous, clayey and arenaceous nature contribute to ideal maturation. Hand-harvesting processes eventually lead to the production of fine wines such as the reds Merlot, Pinot Noir, Aglianico and to a small extent also Sangiovese. The white wines offered here are Sauvignon Blanc and Riesling, while the sweet wines are raisin wines such as Muscat. In addition, most of the hectares of vineyards offer the indigenous Tintilla del Molise grape, from which unparalleled reds and rosés are produced. Name and address of producer/distributor: Vinica - Contrada Costa Bianca, 4, 86025 Ripalimosani (CB). Products from this winery should be stored in a cool, dry place away from heat sources.
