What grows here
Poggio Sannita
9 protected denominations overlap in this municipality.
In this corner of Molise, near Isernia, Poggio Sannita stands in ancient Samnite lands, where its specific hilly topography and distinct microclimate foster exceptional produce. Here, the unique viticultural conditions give rise to the Pentro di Isernia DOC, a wine whose zone spans just 17 municipalities, deeply reflecting the local terroir. Poggio Sannita is also key to the production of Caciocavallo Silano DOP, a cheese born from long-standing pastoral traditions unique to this wider region. This particular combination of history, geology, and tradition enables a remarkable 9 protected denominations to flourish within the municipality's bounds.
