Di Majo Norante Description
The Di Majo Norante winery sits on the estate of the Marquis Norante of Santa Cristina in the region of Molise, along the Adriatic Sea between Puglia and Abruzzo. The cultivation of vines in this area dates to 500 BC, when the region was inhabited by two pre-Roman civilizations. Their Contado is made with 100% Aglianico. The grapes are hand-harvested in late October and undergo an extended period of maceration to build incredible concentration and flavor. After fermentation in stainless steel, the wine is matured in a combination of stainless steel and oak barrel for eighteen months, resulting in a layered, complex wine. Pair this intense, spicy red with roasted pork or rich cheeses.
