Binomio Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Riserva 2018

Drink it now or cellar for up to 15 years. It is recommended to decant it half an hour before serving.

La Valentina winery was established in 1990, and since then it has always carried on the idea of intervening as little as possible in the processes of nature. This production philosophy allows the vine to express itself at its best, ensuring the maintenance of the fertility of the earth, and helping the plants grow healthy and naturally. The winery produces unique wines capable of expressing the peculiarity of the Abruzzo terroir, from indigenous varieties.

Binomio is a sumptuous but modern Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Riserva DOC, born from the meeting of Stefano Inama (Inama Azienda Agricola) and Sabatino Di Properzio (Fattoria La Valentina) in 1997. The vision was that of a powerful wine with ripe tannins, which could be opened and drunk immediately. In 2000, with the acquisition of the vineyard in San Valentino in Abruzzo Citizzonte, on the edge of the Majella National Park, the project took off.

The wine is characterized by a dark ruby with interesting garnet reflections. The nose is very intense, with a concentration of wild strawberries, blackberries, berries, and spices. On the palate, it is powerful, decisive, and intense. The tannins are ripe and in perfect balance with the body of the wine. The finish is fresh and with excellent aromatic persistence. It goes perfectly with the traditional recipes of the region with sheep or goat.
