Description

Binomio is a joint venture in Abruzzo between Inama and Fattoria La Valentina, begun in 1998. Together, the two wineries farm a parcel of old-vines Montepulciano in a beautiful location in the foothills north of Majella National Park. The property is planted with an ancient biotype of Montepulciano called the “Africa clone” because its two lobes, one longer than the other, give its bunches the shape of the African continent if they are held just right. This biotype was abandoned long ago by most Montepulciano producers due to its low productivity, but that same characteristic gives the wine great body and concentration.
