Di Majo Norante Sangiovese
Wine Description
Made from 100% Sangiovese grown in the Ramitello and Martarosa vineyards and harvested in October. The wine is aged in stainless steel and large oak barrels for six months in order to achieve greater smoothness and softness while preserving the supple fruity flavors of Sangiovese. A tremendous value and one of Winebow’s blockbusters!
