Malto Lento: The First Agricultural Brewery of Alto Molise

Malto Lento is an agricultural brewery located in Castel del Giudice, a small and picturesque municipality in the province of Isernia, in the heart of Alto Molise. Founded in 2019, it is the result of the passion of Nicola Rossi, a young master brewer trained at ITS Piemonte in Turin, and Emanuele Scocchera. Their vision is clear: to produce craft beers that convey authenticity and the richness of the Molise tradition.

To date, Malto Lento stands out for an approach to production that combines brewing tradition with local agriculture. The brewery cultivates directly the essential raw materials for beer, such as hops and barley, integrating them into an agricultural context that enhances the surrounding territory. Among the organic apple trees in the garden intertwine the plants that give life to the fundamental ingredients of every beer, ensuring a completely zero-kilometer supply chain. This approach not only reduces environmental impact but also highlights the deep connection between the final product and its land of origin.

Malto Lento’s Beers: A Journey of Taste and Tradition

Malto Lento’s production includes several craft beers characterized by balanced and complex aromatic profiles:

  • Maggiolata: a Belgian-style beer, moderately malty and fruity, with a deep copper color. Its flavor is enriched by hints of apple, thanks to the use of apple puree during fermentation, a direct reference to the Molise territory.
  • Pacifica: an American IPA with a bold character, persistent bitterness, and an aromatic bouquet rich in exotic fruit notes, perfect for those who enjoy stronger and refreshing beers.
  • Iudicis: a British Pale Ale, hoppy with a dry finish, featuring pleasant citrus notes of orange and hints of underbrush, ideal for those seeking a refined balance between bitterness and aroma.

These beers express Malto Lento’s philosophy: quality, craftsmanship, and respect for nature.

Experience and Brewery Visits

Located at Via dello Sviluppo snc in Castel del Giudice, Malto Lento opens its doors to those wishing to discover the production process and the agricultural peculiarities behind each beer. Guided tours last about 60 minutes and offer a complete itinerary:

  • Exploration of the ancient apple orchard
  • Visit to the experimental hop field
  • Direct observation of the beer production stages

This experience is available by reservation at least one day in advance. It is the perfect opportunity to immerse yourself in a rural environment where beer is crafted between nature and tradition, in a place that combines work, passion, and territory.

Malto Lento is not just a brewery but a reality that embodies the enhancement of local resources through beer, carrying forward a sustainable and authentic project in a part of Italy still little known but full of potential.
