Vintage Report

The 2019 vintage for this Southern Italian region has been awarded an excellent score of 93 points. The wine is currently still youthful and tannic, indicating formidable aging potential.

The history of the Di Majo Norante winery goes back a long way, as the cellars reveal that wine has been produced there since 1800. The Molise wine region isn't yet well-known, but it has become more so since we started selling Di Majo Norante wines. The winery has specialized in producing the finest wines from local grape varieties. Situated between the Marche and Puglia regions, the Molise wine region boasts a perfect climate. The ancient soils where the vines grow are also a treasure trove for the grapes. They receive abundant nourishment from the old soil, and this is reflected in the ripe style of the wine. Today, Alessio Di Majo is at the helm of this beautiful winery. He is a progressive winemaker with many distinctive qualities. He produces all his wines using innovative techniques, giving each wine its own distinct character, just like this red Contado Riserva.

Contado Riserva made from a unique grape

Aglianico grapes are grown in Molise for this top-quality red wine. This grape variety is not often seen, but it is invaluable. It has a long history in Italy but originates in Greece. The grapes come from a beautiful vineyard in a southeastern, warm location, planted in 1968. To ensure optimal ripeness, the Aglianico can only be harvested in October, and this is done entirely by hand. The finest bunches are selected and transported in small crates to Di Majo Norante.

Eighteen months of wood aging for this Contado Riserva

Once the grapes arrive at Di Majo Norante, they are crushed and pressed. This red wine then ages for a full eighteen months in oak barrels. During this crucial period, the wine develops and develops a unique character. Upon pouring, we see a beautiful dark red color with a purple rim. The aroma offers the most beautiful impressions of black fruit, a touch of smoke, licorice, and, of course, vanilla. The palate is a pure treat for the palate, pampered by black fruit, ripe tannins, and a perfect dose of spice. Swirl the wines vigorously on the palate, and you'll also taste oak and vanilla, along with a touch of sweet plum.
