Tasting Notes: The Di Majo Norante Cabernet Sauvignon Terre Degli Osci has a deep ruby-red color and aromas of baked plums and black fruits that complement undertones of cassis, tobacco leaf, leather, and sweet spice. On the palate, rich tannins and good acidity make for a mouthwatering wine with good aging potential.
Estate History: Founded in 1968, the Di Majo estate cultivates more than 200 acres under vine. The Di Majo Norante winery sits on the estate of the Marquis Norante of Santa Cristina in the region of Molise, along the Adriatic Sea between Puglia and Abruzzo. The cultivation of vines in this area dates back to 500 BC, when the region was inhabited by two pre-Roman civilizations, the Sanniti and the Osci. The estate has been dedicated to growing vines since the 1800s. In the 1960s a modern cantina was constructed, and vines were replanted in the Ramitello area.
