THE FOODS
This small, sparsely populated region shares a gastronomic bond with the Abruzzi, its historical partner to the north, though the proximity of Apulia and Campania lend its foods a southern accent. It's also nice to know that Molise in its unassuming way harbors culinary secrets of its own.
The region is noted for robust fare of authentically rustic goodness, specialties of the towns and villages that grace the hillsides from the short strip of Adriatic coast to the rugged heights of the Apennines, home of the ancient Samnite tribes.

THE WINES
The often overlooked region of Molise, which was once an appendix of Abruzzi, gained official status in wine in the 1980s with the DOCs of Biferno and Pentro di Isernia. The undeniable aptitude for vines on the sunny hillsides between the Apennines and the Adriatic indicates that with a little more effort Molise's wine producers could match on a small scale the quality of their neighbors in Abruzzi, Apulia or Campania.
