Rich Riserva made from Tintilia grapes, an ancient vine from Molise. Full, soft and velvety, the perfect harmony of bouquet and flavour is impressive. SUPERIORE.DE

"Spicy and hot on the nose, with chilli pepper and cherry tomatoes before flavours of sour cherries and candied red apples emerge. More red apple and red pepper spiciness on the palate, with the sanguine flinty quality of dusty brick and ferrous soil emphasised by lively acidity." Wine Enthusiast
"Aromas of eucalyptus, figs and wild cherries. Medium-bodied with firm tannins. Interesting mineral character on the palate with walnut and blackberry flavours." James Suckling
"Autumnal spices, black liquorice and sage form an inviting bouquet when the Tintilia 2020 blossoms in the glass. Silky and enveloping, it impresses with cool mineral tones and juicy acidity. The tart fruits of the forest slowly saturate the palate. A layer of fine tannins gradually fades as the 2020 finishes energetically, leaving the mouth wanting another sip." Vinous

“Don Luigi” Riserva Molise DOC 2019 (BIO)
Don Luigi Riserva opens with a dark, seductive blend of musky blackcurrants, sweet sage and crushed ash stones. It is full-bodied and almost creamy in flavour. The palate is lapped up by deep, ripe dark fruit and exotic spices. In between, a lively acidity with lingering notes of red plums and cedar wood. Beneath the surface is a hint of grippy tannin. The balance of this wine is breathtaking and further bottle ageing will improve it even further. SUPERIORE.DE
"Dark ruby red with violet reflections. Very ripe, sweet fruit notes on the nose, aromas of preserved cherries, plums and liquorice, underlaid with cocoa and a hint of liquorice. A fruity-sweet core on the palate, grippy and rustic tannins, with a hint of liquorice on the finish." Falstaff

“Contado” Aglianico Riserva Molise DOC 2019 · MAGNUM
Concentrated ruby red with garnet-coloured reflections. The wood contributes very slight hints of roasted coffee to the predominantly black cherry and berry aroma. Full and very intense flavour of dark berries, very slight hints of violets and plums, the compact tannins are supported by balsamic notes, with fine liquorice tones in the finish. The harmony that this powerful and already delicious Aglianico hints at today will only fully come into its own after a few years of ageing in the bottle. SUPERIORE.DE
"Bright, intense ruby colour with a noticeable rim. Dark nose of blackberries, dark chocolate, coffee and a hint of tar. Rolls gently over the palate, spicy fruit paired with velvety tannins, round and powerful into the long finish." Falstaff
"This wine has aromas of blackcurrant, black cherry, dried herbs, tobacco and dark chocolate. On the palate, it is firm and toasty, with a full body and chewy tannins. Ambitious but balanced." James Suckling

“Sassius” Aglianico Riserva Molise DOC 2016 (BIO)
Dark, concentrated ruby red colour. Complex on the nose with an abundance of ripe red and black berry fruit aromas, including sour cherry, blackcurrant and elderberry, followed by notes of dried violets, sweet spices, liquorice, cocoa powder, mentholated tobacco and eucalyptus. Rich and multi-layered on the palate, powerful and soft with youthful but well-integrated tannins and excellent acidity. Only reveals its large reservoir of impressions after some aeration. Very long on the finish, great ageing potential. SUPERIORE.DE
"The deeply umami nose features aromas of balsamic, pepper, soil and iron, with an undertone of sun-dried tomato providing some levity. On the palate, a wave of tart fruit crashes over more leathery, meaty flavors, before a hot finish that's underscored by tightly wound tannins and acid." Wine Enthusiast

The historic winery of the Di Majo family in Molise, in the north of the Gargano in the Ramitello region around Campomarino, slumbered for a long time until it acquired a very good reputation beyond the borders of Italy. Today, wines of the finest quality - concentrated, modern and fresh - come from there throughout. The young exceptional winemaker Alessio di Majo, supported by the renowned oenologist Riccardo Cotarella, has dedicated himself to the almost forgotten ancient grape varieties of the region and helped them to new prestige. In the Azienda Di Majo Norante, the emphasis is on a pleasantly fruity appearance and an ordered structure. This ranges from the drink-friendly white wines to the powerful red wines. The fact that the drops are also offered on the market at an extremely favourable price/quality ratio is not due to the level of the plants produced there.
Alessio di Majo, a winegrower who often swims against the current, produces wines that combine traditional craftsmanship with modern technology. He has abandoned high yields in the vineyard and efforts to standardize taste in favour of the search for quality and typicity. The loose, partly sandy soils, together with the summer wind around Campomarino, offer particularly favourable conditions for vine cultivation. The plants thrive in wonderful locations covering 85 hectares of the ancient feudal property of Marchesi Norante di Santa Cristina. The vines are treated exclusively with organic fertilizers of organic and mineral origin.
The groundbreaking decision to select the most suitable clones of autochthonous vines by studying their adaptability to the Mediterranean soil is the starting point for all Di Majo Norante wines. In the beginning, the family had added the red varieties Sangiovese, Montepulciano and Aglianico as well as Falanghina and Greco to the classic varieties for white wine production. The traditional red variety Tintilia as well as the Moscato Reale for the production of a noble Passito wine later completed the portfolio.
The Di Majo Norante winery has been making wine from its own grapes for more than 200 years, as evidenced by the old cellars below the Piazza in Campomarino and in the old family palace there. The passion for viticulture, inherited first by Luigi and then by Alessio di Majo, is practised in combination with a great interest in research and innovation. As part of extensive modernisation measures, the preparation facilities were supplemented by a granary dating from the year 600, which now serves as a barrique cellar. SUPERIORE.DE
"Di Majo Norante in the region is to be equated with the word wine. This now legendary winery has profoundly influenced the innovation of viticulture within the region."Gambero Rosso
