Di Majo Norante Rosato 2016 (6 Bottles) Campomarino, Italy

This juicy, bistro-friendly blend of 80% Montepulciano and 20% Aglianico comes by the hand of Alessio Di Majo, the 'lone wolf' of Molise (an obscure, easily-overlooked D.O.C sandwiched between the Apennines and the Adriatic Sea). Founded in the late '60s, this organic estate has been the pacesetter in this beautiful, rugged part of Italy for some years. It offers a generous, plump texture with sweet/savoury aromas and flavours of red berries, cherries, almond paste and fresh herbs along with zesty, vibrant acidity.
