Di Majo Norante
Brand Description
Founded in 1968, the Di Majo estate cultivates over 200 acres under vine. To ensure consistent, high-quality production for all the estate’s wines, Alessio Di Majo hired renowned oenologist Riccardo Cotarella as a consultant. In addition to producing quality wine at an outstanding value, the Di Majo family is dedicated to practicing environmentally sound agriculture.
Location of Vineyard
The Di Majo Norante winery is located on the Marquis Norante of Santa Cristina estate in the Molise region, along the Adriatic Sea between Puglia and Abruzzo. Vine cultivation in this area dates back to 500 BC, when two pre-Roman civilizations, the Sanniti and the Osci, inhabited the region. 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.
Winemaking and Viticulture Philosophy
Optimal exposure, constant summer breezes, excellent soil composition, and a slope toward the Sciabolone and Madonna Grande valleys combine to create a particularly favorable environment for wine production.
