Di Majo Norante

Light, straw-yellow white wine with a greenish tinge. The bouquet is fresh and appealing: ripe apricot, peach and a delicate broom blossom stand out. The palate is round and lively at the same time, with a slight salty freshness, pleasant acidity and a fine aftertaste of bitter almond. The cuvée consists of 90% Falanghina, refined with a small proportion of Greco, all grown in the Ramitello region of Molise. Maturation in stainless steel tanks preserves freshness and varietal typicity. Rami is an accessible, organically produced white wine with a regional identity and an invigorating lightness with a lovely flow. SUPERIORE.DE

Bright ruby red with a violet rim. Ripe cherry, redcurrant and a hint of violet – inviting and typically Sangiovese, but with a southern Italian accent. Juicy fruit, lively freshness and pleasantly soft tannins on the palate. What makes it special is its origin: Molise – remote, underestimated, but ideal for red wines with a strong character and a special flavour. Maturation in stainless steel tanks preserves the freshness and purity, while the sun of the Osci hills ensures fullness. A purist, organically produced Sangiovese with an exciting Mediterranean profile – and not from Tuscany, but from Molise. SUPERIORE.DE

According to Aristotle, the ancient clones of the Greco vine originate from Tessaglia. The most famous of these is the "Aminea Gemina Maior", from which this wine is made. Straw yellow in colour with a greenish tinge, it promises freshness and lightness. A fruity bouquet unfolds on the nose: peach, apricot, citrus fruit and a delicate hint of white flowers – all elegant and inviting. Dry, smooth and balanced on the palate: harmonious fruit, fine acidity and a mineral finish that makes you want to savour the next sip. Maturation in stainless steel tanks preserves the varietal style and aromatic clarity. 100% Greco, organically grown in Molise – a rare and charming grape variety with an expressive character. Note: There is also serious Greco outside Campania. SUPERIORE.DE

A red wine with a southern heart and depth: this Aglianico del Molise comes from organically cultivated vineyards at classic altitudes. It is aged for 18 months in large wooden barrels, which gives it structure and maturity without masking the fruit. Dense ruby colour with a violet core. Blackcurrant, blackberry, liquorice, some smoke and Mediterranean herbs on the nose. Powerful yet balanced on the palate, with well-integrated tannins, lively acidity and a mineral finish. A characterful, honestly vinified Aglianico that impressively expresses the originality of the Molise region and its excellent value in the bottle. SUPERIORE.DE

Ramitello is unjustly overshadowed by Contado. Yet it is a potential favourite red wine that perfectly embodies the intensity of southern Molise. Made from 80% Montepulciano and 20% Aglianico, Ramitello matures for around 18 months, partly in barriques and partly in stainless steel tanks, followed by around six months of bottle ageing. In the glass, it has a deep ruby colour with violet reflections. The bouquet is brooding and complex: ripe plum and blackberry combine with spicy notes of leather, liquorice, eucalyptus and a hint of coffee. The palate shows excellent balance: dense fruit, structured, grippy tannins and a long, fruit-accentuated finish that is characterised by tension and naturalness. This wine epitomises the authentic power of Molise – unaffected, terroir-precise and at the same time impressively harmonious. SUPERIORE.DE

A wine that tells in every facet where it comes from – that is Contado Riserva. Made from 100% Aglianico from organically farmed slopes of the Ramitello vineyard in Molise (Contrada Camarda), it shows the potential of this robust grape variety and the special region. The soil is calcareous with clay and sand, giving the wine mineral depth and vigour. The late harvest is followed by a long maceration period, after which the wine matures for a total of around three years: partly in barriques and tonneaux, partly in stainless steel tanks, and finally with extended bottle ageing. This careful ageing philosophy gives the wine complexity, elegance and a fine power of integration in every vintage.

An organic extra virgin olive oil made from 100% Gentile di Larino from Di Majo Norante, obtained from olive trees in Molise that are over 30 years old. The early-picked fruit is processed immediately and cold-extracted to preserve its freshness and varietal identity. The colour is a warm gold with a green sheen. Aromas of artichoke, green almond, wild herbs and tomato panicle. On the palate, it is dense, clear and pleasantly flavoursome, with a fine bitterness and harmonious spiciness. Ideal with burrata, grilled vegetables, fish, pulses or simply on warm bread. An oil that conveys the soul of Molise in its purest form. SUPERIORE.DE

Deeply rooted in the Molise terroir since time immemorial, the Tintilia grape variety was long threatened with disappearance – until dedicated winegrowers revived it as an autochthonous treasure. This red wine in Riserva quality today represents the prestige of this once almost forgotten grape variety: 100% Tintilia, finely selected and with very low yields at high altitudes, where calcareous clay soils and fresh mountain air characterise its distinctive profile.

Don Luigi Riserva is the distinctive flagship of Di Majo Norante – named after the patriarch of the winery and an expression of deep respect for origin, tradition and passion. Only the ripest Montepulciano grapes are selected from the Contrada Camarda near Ramitello, around 100 - 150 metres above sea level on soils rich in limestone and clay. The wine is produced after a long maceration period and then matures for 12–18 months in French barriques, followed by several months of rest in the bottle – a process that produces both concentration and this impressive harmony.

Dark, concentrated ruby red colour.

Rich and multi-layered on the palate, powerful and soft with youthful but well-integrated tannins and excellent acidity. Only reveals its large reservoir of impressions after some aeration. Very long on the finish, great ageing potential. SUPERIORE.DE
