Di Majo Norante's 2004 Don Luigi (Montepulciano and Tintilia) reveals notes of smoke, tobacco, underbrush, cherries and licorice. Made in a generous style, it offers outstanding length and terrific balance, with an inviting note of sweetness that rounds out the finish. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2018. Di Majo Norante is located in Molise, one of the least well-known regions in Italy. Proprietor Alessio Di Majo and consulting oenologist Riccardo Cotarella make plump, richly-flavored wines that offer incredible value for the money.
