Terresacre
A family-run estate at Montenero di Bisaccia, in the lower Molise hills 270 metres above the Adriatic. Tenuta Terresacre planted thirty-five hectares of Tintilia, Montepulciano, Falanghina, Trebbiano and Chardonnay around its Contrada Montebello cellar in 2006, and built its reputation on the rescue of Tintilia, the region's only truly indigenous red grape. Robert Parker's Wine Advocate awarded the Tintilia 2009 a 90-point score, an early validation of the project. Visits and tastings run year-round by appointment.
