Rigatoni di Grano Duro Senatore Cappelli represent the highest expression of tradition and quality upheld by Pasta Frentana from the Molise region. These rigatoni are made exclusively from semolina derived from the ancient durum wheat variety Senatore Cappelli - an heirloom grain known for its high protein content, rich flavor, and exceptional nutritional value.

Produced using time-honored methods, the pasta is extruded through bronze dies, resulting in a coarse, rustic texture, while slow drying at low temperatures preserves the natural aroma of the grain and ensures structural integrity. The shape of these rigatoni - tubular and slightly curved - makes them highly versatile and particularly well-suited for hearty sauces and baked dishes (pasta al forno), as they effectively hold flavors and juices within their grooves. Their inclusion in the "semolato semi integrale" line highlights the authentic, whole-grain character of the product, made with traditionally milled wheat and a drying process that respects artisanal craftsmanship.
