Wine Description
Don Luigi was made in tribute to Don Luigi Di Majo Norante, the patriarch of this estate. The wine undergoes a period of extended maceration to achieve incredible color and concentration and is further refined in Allier and Tronçais barriques for 12-18 months. The resulting wine is a benchmark expression of Montepulciano from the Molise region.
Tasting Notes
Opaque ruby in color, Don Luigi is a richly aromatic wine with layered notes of ripe wild berries, prunes, charcoal, cocoa and licorice. Equally intense and lush on the palate, offering well-balanced tannins and a full-bodied mouthfeel. This unforgettable red is best enjoyed with baked pasta dishes, grilled steaks, lamb roasts or veal.
