Italy's Finest Values - The estate's 2008 Aglianico del Molise Contado is another full-bodied red. This shows much of the wildness of Aglianico in its black fruit, game, leather and earthiness. There is dark, mysterious quality to the Contado I find particularly appealing.

BEST BUY: “Aglianico gets more attention in Basilicata, but Di Majo Norante has farmed the grape in the southeastern end of Molise since the 1960s. This Contado Riserva, off a 38-acre vineyard planted in 1986, is plush and firm at once, the dark-berried fruit lined with fine tannins. It’s just beginning to show some maturity, some leafy sotto bosco notes, giving the fruit an autumnal feel. It’s mellow and elegant.”
