Description

“It is moving to think of a plant that does not die, and humbly asks to be saved to continue to bear fruit.” This is the case of “Tintilia”, vine native of Molise introduced by monks in the middle of the eighteenth century, during the Bourbon domination, in the territory that today corresponds to the Molise Region. Today, after two centuries, there are those who remained faithful to that original vine, utilizing the grafts to produce an excellent wine.
