A tasting in the town that gave Molise its most famous pork dish: pampanella, slices of pork shoulder coated in sweet and hot ground red pepper, garlic, salt and white-wine vinegar, then slow-roasted in a wood oven. Guests visit a traditional bakehouse where it is made, taste it warm in fresh bread with pickled vegetables, and pair it with Tintilia del Molise. The town is also famed for its late-April Carrese ox-cart race.
