Di Majo Norante Sangiovese

Di Majo Norante Sangiovese

Wine Description

Made from 100% Sangiovese grown in the Ramitello and Martarosa vineyards and hand-harvested in October, this wine is aged in stainless steel and large oak barrels for six months to achieve greater smoothness and softness while preserving the supple fruit-forward characteristics of Sangiovese.

Acclaim
“A bouquet of musky cherry, blackberry and wild herbs lifts up from the 2019 Sangiovese. It’s lean yet cooling on the palate, displaying tart woodland berries offset by hints of mint and salty minerals. A subtle tug of fine tannin lingers, framing the expression nicely, as the 2019 resonates on black fruits and a twang of exotic savory spice.”
— Vinous, Jun 2021
“A big, rich and fruit-forward red with lots of ripe and dried-fruit character that gives a fig undertone. It’s full and flavorful. If you like rich reds, here is one.” 
— James Suckling, Nov 2020
