Binomio Riserva is a bold and very successful experiment by Fattoria La Valentina in collaboration with Azienda Agricola Inama. A fine selection of Montepulciano grapes from vineyards at altitudes of up to 400 metres, matured in barriques, this wine manages the balancing act between tradition, fidelity to type and modernity. The bouquet is complex and smoky with appetising aromas of sour cherry, while the taste is powerful and elegant, well tolerating the concentrated tannins and the alcohol component. SUPERIORE.DE

"This wine offers the richness and density one should expect from the Montepulciano grape, but it also displays sweet flavours reminiscent of blackberry, coffee and cherry tart. This sweetness is accompanied by spices and even a hint of cheese rind or white chocolate. The Binomio 2019 Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Riserva has a very creamy, almost milky quality." Wine Advocate

"The nose blends fruit notes of raspberry and strawberry with savory aromas of fresh grass, wild fennel and cured meat. That meatiness flourishes on the palate, but the fruit lingers to maintain a pleasing tension. Tannins provide structure as the acid finds its footing." Wine Enthusiast

"An intriguing nose of red berries, decadent red apples, dried tobacco, roses and rich earth. Medium to full-bodied with perfectly integrated tannins that provide a slightly velvety base for the bright fruit and spice flavours that run through the long, long finish. Few red wines from the Montepulciano grape are able to offer this level of complexity, combined with light-footed elegance and balance. Exquisite. Benchmark." James Suckling
