Di Majo Norante Moscato del Molise Passito Apianae 0.5L 2020

Di Majo Norante Moscato del Molise Passito Apianae is a richly styled dessert wine that brings together old-vine tradition and the expressive sweetness of Moscato Bianco/Moscato Reale. Made in Molise, it draws on a grape lineage cherished since antiquity and once prized by the popes, giving it both historical depth and unmistakable character.

Tasting Notes
Expect a luminous, golden-hued dessert wine with an inviting, honeyed richness. The nose is typically aromatic and lifted, with notes of ripe stone fruit, dried apricot, citrus peel, blossom honey, and the characteristic floral perfume of Moscato, supported by subtle herbal and spicy nuances. On the palate, Apianae is sweet but balanced, combining concentrated fruit, delicate freshness, and a smooth, velvety texture. The finish should be long and fragrant, with lingering honeyed and floral notes. Thanks to its concentration and balance, it should also have good aging potential for a dessert wine, developing additional complexity over time.

Production
Produced in Molise from Moscato Bianco/Moscato Reale vines rooted in a long-standing local tradition, this wine reflects an ancient grape historically associated with Italy since around 200 BC. The old-vine heritage and the passito style suggest carefully selected ripe grapes, likely harvested late to encourage natural concentration before vinification designed to preserve the variety’s aromatic intensity and sweetness.

Food & Serving
Serve slightly chilled, ideally around 10-12°C, to keep the aromatics fresh while showcasing the wine’s richness. It pairs beautifully with almond pastries, fruit tarts, blue cheese, foie gras, or simply as an after-dinner wine on its own. Decanting is generally not necessary, though a short rest in the glass can help open its bouquet.

The estate has helped bring attention to Molise through wines that combine authenticity, quality, and a strong sense of place, and Apianae stands as one of its most distinctive and historically resonant bottlings.
