The 2010 Biferno Rosso Ramitello, a 80% Montepulciano/20% Aglianico blend, is highly distinctive. Dark red cherries, herbs licorice and tobacco flesh out in the glass. The Ramitello is huge, opulent and rich, with firm yet well-integrated tannins that provide a backbone to support the fruit. This is another fabulous value from Di Majo Norante. Anticipated maturity: 2013-2016.
I was totally struck by the wines I tasted from Di Majo Norante this year. This range is packed with a number of fabulous values.
