What grows here
Castelverrino
9 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
Castelverrino, a small Molise municipality of just 85 inhabitants, historically bore the name Castello d'Agnone. Despite its modest size, this specific terrain fosters 9 distinct protected denominations. Here, the renowned Pentro di Isernia DOC wine finds its roots within a circumscribed 17-municipality production zone, embodying a viticultural identity deeply tied to Molise's unique geological and climatic profile. The broader Caciocavallo Silano DOP also thrives, its celebrated cheese a testament to the local pastoral heritage. This land, once known as Castello d'Agnone, continues to yield specific products that define its authentic and enduring culinary legacy.
