Di Majo Norante 2006 Apianae Moscato (Molise)
- Online Exclusive
- $29
This is an extraordinary, golden dessert wine with intense and penetrating notes of honey, marron glacé, dried apricot, marzipan, candied lemon, dried mint and jasmine. It’s smooth, rich and long lasting in the mouth. The wine has personality and power and boasts magnetic appeal across the board.

Di Majo Norante 2002 Apianae White (Molise)
- $19
This dessert wine ventures far beyond classic dried fruit and nuts to offer fresh peach, apricot lavender, lemon rind, dried basil and pine nuts. It has a winning combination of herbs and sweetness that recalls tea with honey and lemon. Made from late-harvest (as late as November) and very rare Moscato Reale grapes.

Di Majo Norante 2006 Don Luigi Montepulciano (Molise)
- Cellar Selection
- $50
This is a delicate and intricate red blend from Molise that offers well-dosed aromas of black fruit, cola, balsam notes and mineral. The wine is expertly extracted to yield thick and luscious flavors lavished over its dense concentration. This is an excellent example of the potential of winemaking from Italy’s least-known region.

Di Majo Norante 2002 Ramitello Red (Terra degli Osci)
- Best Buy
- Online Exclusive
- $14
I am simply delighted with the latest releases from Molise’s Di Majo Norante. This luscious red blend is made from two little-known, organically grown native varieties (85 percent Prugnolo and 15 percent Aglianico) and has been deftly transformed thanks to consulting enologist Riccardo Cotarella into a thick, inky garnet wine with black cherry, tar, leather, bitter…

Di Majo Norante 2001 Contado Aglianico (Molise)
- Best Buy
- $12
Deep, ripe and syrupy on the nose, with leather, brambly red fruit and licorice. Seemingly on the ripe side, but still juicy and fresh. The plum and berry fruit is mature, while proper aging has added a smoky edge along with carob, earth and coffee nuances.

Di Majo Norante 2004 Ramì *not imported* Falanghina (Molise)
- Editors' Choice
This white has a gorgeous nose of aromatic white flowers, especially jasmine. Organically grown grapes come from Italy’s often overlooked Molise region, just above the “spur” on the boot of Italy. Floral intensity, gentle acidity and solid structure make this a perfect summer wine.

Di Majo Norante 2005 Ramitello Red (Terra degli Osci)
- Editors' Choice
- Online Exclusive
- $17
Ramitello is a beautiful wine (85% Prugnolo and 15% Aglianico for power and structure) with soft, lush aromas of chocolate, espresso, leather, clove and dense blackberry fruit. The wine is yielding and generous and has absolutely no sharp edges.
