Di Majo Norante Rosso Montepulciano Aglianico 2020

Tasting Notes

Nestled between Abruzzo to the north and Campania to the south, Molise is one of Italy's smallest and most obscure wine regions. Although the wines from this mountainous and sparsely populated area are not very well known outside of Italy, Alessio Di Majo - Molise's top grower - is renowned in his homeland for producing some of Italy's more colourful and exciting regional vino.

This delicious, medium-bodied red is a blend of organically grown Montepulciano (80%) and Aglianico (20%), cropped from the Estate's sloping Ramitello vineyard. Assimilating the structure of the north and the juiciness of the south, we love the 2019's dark cherry core and savoury meatiness, not to mention the wine's beautifully pitched, fleshy yet powdery mouthfeel and amaro-tinged finish. The new label is much easier on the eye, too. Another bargain. - Winery Note
