Molise

Falanghina from the Molise DOC - the Sannites not only appreciated this wine, they considered it one of the best. Golden yellow, pleasantly fresh bouquet, in which a hint of broom mixes with the exotic fruit scent. Rich, full taste, reminiscent of pomegranate, always fresh and well structured. SUPERIORE.DE

According to Aristoteles, the ancient clones of the Greco vine come from Tessaglia. The most famous of them is the "Aminea Gemina Maior", from which this wine is made. Brilliant straw yellow and a wide, intense fruity scent. Versatile fruit aromas in a harmonious taste. SUPERIORE.DE

"Deep yellow. Apple and pear on the fragrant nose. Then rich and dense, with flavors similar to the aromas. The nicely persistent finish shows tannic and oily qualities. Nicely done." Vinous

"A fascinating nose of dill and coriander with lemon and lime undertones. Medium-bodied and bright with fresh acidity." James Suckling

The pure Aglianico Biorganic shows itself in a dense ruby violet. Fascinating scent of black currant and blackberry with notes of liquorice, smoke and earth. Of beautiful purity, rich and with spicy accents on the palate. SUPERIORE.DE

"Dark bright red-ruby. Expressive aromas and flavors of redcurrant, licorice, and cocoa, complicated by underbrush and pungently perfumed flowers. Bright, silky and ripe but with lovely energy giving the herbal and red fruit flavors a crisp quality. Finishes with a hint of menthol and repeating red cherry nuances." Ian d’Agata (vinous.com)

Ramitello impresses with an immense bouquet of intense aromas of red fruits and delicate balsamic notes. The taste is warm and full, with rich fruit tones spiced with a hint of liquorice. SUPERIORE.DE

"Here's another terrific value buy from Di Majo Norante. This wine delivers lots of black fruit, tar, spice and tobacco. The intensity of the wine is very good despite the difficult vintage. This is a mid-weight red with rich fiber and density at the back." Robert Parker

"A fascinating red with tobacco, granite, and dark berry aromas that follow through to a full body, round and velvety tannins. Juicy finish. Savory. A blend of montepulciano and aglianico." James Suckling

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

"Bright dark red. Bright and very perfumed, featuring an enticing aromatic nuance to the fresh, juicy, spicy blue and red fruit aromas and flavors. This outstanding Tintilia wine finishes long and vibrant, with smooth tannins." Ian d’Agata (vinous.com)

Don Luigi Riserva, a solid, powerful red from Montepulciano and Aglianico, has an intense, complex bouquet of sour cherries pickled in alcohol and a rich, delicately woody taste with a long, warm finish. SUPERIORE.DE

"A rich and spicy red with dried-plum and phenolic grape-skin character. Medium body, round tannins and a straightforward finish." James Suckling

"A harmonious red, with light, sculpted tannins, layered with brambly blackberry and currant flavors, grilled herb and smoky mineral accents and hints of fig cake, black olive and spice. Medium- to full-bodied, presenting a bright, lingering finish." Wine Spectator

Concentrated ruby red with garnet reflections. To the predominant cherry and berry smell the wood contributes quite light allusions of roasted coffee. Full and very intense taste of dark berries, very slightly violet and plum, the compact tannins are carried by balsamic notes, in the aftertaste fine liquorice tones. SUPERIORE.DE

"One thing is certain: Molise is home to some terrific value buys. The region offers exciting and authentic wines at very competitive prices." Robert Parker
