The Aglianico Riserva Molise DOC - Magnum - By Majo Norante is a wine that embodies the profound connection between the land of Molise and one of its most noble and characteristic vines, Aglianico. Presented in a prestigious Magnum format, which underlines its importance and quality, this wine is produced by the Di Majo Norante winery, an institution in Italian wine production, known for its dedication to enhancing native varieties through sustainable practices and a environmentally friendly approach.

This Aglianico Riserva expresses all the potential of the grape variety and the Molise territory. The wine has a deep ruby ​​red color, tending towards garnet with aging, an indication of its structure and complexity. On the nose, it offers an intense and complex bouquet, with dominant notes of ripe red fruits, plums and cherries, enriched with nuances of spices, chocolate and vanilla, the result of aging in wood which integrates further layers of complexity without overpowering the natural expressiveness of the 'Aglianico.

In the mouth it reveals a robust structure, with well-present but elegant tannins, and an acidity that guarantees freshness and length. The palate is enveloped in rich and persistent flavours, with a harmonious balance between fruit, spicy notes and a light balsamic touch, leading to a long and satisfying finish.

Ideal in combination with intense and structured dishes, such as grilled red meats, stews, game and mature cheeses, this wine is also an excellent choice for special occasions, where the Magnum format can be the protagonist of the table, offering not only a tasting of high level but also a memorable moment of sharing.
