Di Majo Norante Ramitello Molise Rosso

The rainy season has begun.
It means that  the farmer's market would have fewer selections for a while, so we indulged in farmer's market shopping one last time for this season.


Among these, there are some vegetables which we don't know exactly what it is. This is the fun part about going to farmers market.

The big pale green color zucchini (probably) is the unknown object. It turned out to become delicious Ratatouille.
The zucchini was sweet, tomatoes gave acidity, and basil added freshness.

For this Steak dinner, I chose the wine which I tried last week at the Central Italian Wine Tasting.
Wine from Molise.
Montepulciano and Aglianico.

Di Majo Norante Ramitello Molise Rosso 2012
$22
There was a combination of fruit, flower and herb.
Well balanced.
It didn't have the deepness of expensive wines, but was very good quality for the wine of this price range.

As for the ratatouille, I had the leftover as sauce for buttered pasta next day.
It was delicious, and the wine was still good, too!
