The Story
100% Aglianico from Molise, Italy.
Full-bodied • velvety • ripe fruit • almond.
A rich and elegant expression of Aglianico, this Riserva presents a ruby-red colour with subtle garnet reflections. The intense bouquet of ripe fruit is complemented by a soft, velvety texture on the palate, balanced by well-integrated tannins and a hint of almond on the long finish. The wine is matured for 2-3 years in a combination of barrels and steel vats, followed by a further six months in the bottle before its release.
The Di Majo Norante winery is situated in Molise, just south of Abruzzo, on the historical estate of the Marquis Norante of Santa Cristina, where vine cultivation dates back to the 1800s. Alessio Di Majo manages the estate with a dedication to both environmental responsibility, making his wines from organically grown grapes, and consistently high quality, which he strives to offer at an accessible price. The vineyards benefit from optimal southeast exposure and constant maritime breezes, creating a favourable environment for their indigenous grapes.
