One of these days, I’m going to make it to Italy. Not only do I want to get my fill of the delicious food there, I want to drink the wines that I believe are among the best in the world.
One varietal I never turn down is an Italian Sangiovese. And one that I have found that’s very, very good is the Di Majo Sangiovese. Di Majo Norante is a noble family dedicated to the cultivation of vines since the 1800s. Di Majo Norante strives to produce high quality wines at a price that is extremely affordable to the consumer.
The Di Majo Norante winery is located on the estate of the Marquis Norante of Santa Cristina in the region of Molise, along on the Adriatic Sea between Puglia and Abruzzo. The cultivation of vines in this area dates back to 500 BC when the region was inhabited by the Sanniti and the Osci, two pre-Roman civilizations.
The estate has been dedicated to growing vines since the 1800s. In the 1960s a modern cantina was constructed and vines were replanted in the Ramitello area. Optimal exposure, constant breezes during the summer, excellent soil composition and a slope toward the Sciabolone and Madonna Grande valleys, combine to create a particularly favorable environment for the production of wine.
In addition to producing quality wine at an outstanding value, the Di Majo family is dedicated to practicing environmentally sound agriculture. As a result of all the hard work, this dry, red table wine comes with the aroma of fresh bouquet of violets, woodland berries, spices and leather. Deliciously smooth, plush and juicy on the palate with loads of ripe fruit, Di Majo Sangiovese is recommended with pasta, pizza, sausages, parmigiana and grilled meats.
