Di Majo Norante

Brand Description

Founded in 1968, the Di Majo estate cultivates more than 200 acres under vine. In order 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 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 back to 500 BC, when the region was inhabited by two pre-Roman civilizations, the Sanniti and the Osci. 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 Philosophy

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 here.

“Great combination here of dried blackberries, dark cherries, meat and then lifted citrus and dried raspberries. Hints of balsamic. Full-bodied and very juicy, drawing plush strands of luscious dark fruit together and keeping them taut and fresh.”
— acclaim for 2014 Di Majo Norante Contado Riserva from James Suckling, May 2020

“This powerful Montepulciano based wine delivers a deep well of aromas on the nose: coconut, cigar box, tobacco and leather over a dense brandy-soaked cherry core. The full-bodied palate is velvety and plush in smooth tannins and dark fruit, all wrapped in a mix of savory and warm spices. Despite all that richness, there’s drive to it all thanks to fresh acidity.” – (Editors’ Choice)
