Biferno

Biferno DOC appellation extends over numerous municipalities in the province of Campobasso, in Molise. It can be attributed to red and rosé wines composed of Montepulciano grapes for 70-80% and Aglianico for 10-20% and to white wines based on Trebbiano Toscano for 70-80%. If the white Biferno DOC wine is generally dry, harmonious and slightly aromatic, the rosé wines marked with this denomination are delicate and fruity. The Biferno DOC red wine, on the other hand, is characterized by an ethereal aroma, a velvety body and the right amount of tannin. There is also a Superiore and Riserva version for red wines: the latter must be subjected to ageing for at least 3 years.
