Real questions our customers ask.
What makes Peta Ciato Riserva Rosso DOC Molise 2013 distinct among Italian red wines?
This wine is a bold showcase of Molise’s heritage, crafted exclusively from indigenous Montepulciano and Aglianico grapes. It delivers a deep ruby colour with violet highlights, rich aromas of red fruit, jam, vanilla, and delicate spices, culminating in a full-bodied palate balanced by firm tannins and lively acidity.
How is the Peta Ciato Riserva Rosso DOC Molise 2013 crafted to achieve its complexity?
Hand-harvested in early October, Montepulciano and Aglianico grapes are fermented separately before blending. The wine then matures for three years in large 25-hectolitre wooden barrels, gaining structure and subtle wood influence, followed by refinement in steel tanks to preserve freshness and balance.
Which foods complement this Molise red to bring out its best qualities?
Its richness and depth partner beautifully with roasted game, hearty red meats, and lamb. It also pairs superbly with sharply aged cheeses like Provolone, where the wine’s spice and dark fruit flavours beautifully complement the intense character of the cheese.
What’s the story behind this wine’s origins and the Molise region’s wine tradition?
Molise is one of Italy’s less widely known but historic wine regions, where Montepulciano and Aglianico have been cultivated for centuries. Winemakers in Molise have long refined techniques to highlight these grapes’ natural intensity and structure, tailoring the wine style to suit the region’s robust culinary traditions.
