Made from Garganega grapes, pale lemon yellow color with aromas of tropical fruits and floral notes. On the palate flavors of apple, melon and lemon citrus with nutty notes and lively acidity. Smooth finish ending with fruit and mineral notes. Nice value! — 22 days ago

A super complex journey, I wasn’t quite ready for. I feel like Soave is ready for a comeback in the right hands. — 10 months ago

Very different style of Soave (if you have Inama in mind, for example). More direct, less structure, but very clear tasting notes, and an elegant minerality. Buttery finish, without being cloying. Really enjoyed it — 2 years ago

9.3

The 2018 Montepulciano d’Abruzzo Riserva Binomio is hauntingly dark and floral, seducing with its rich mix of grilled herbs, plum sauce and dark chocolate. It floods the palate with medium-weight textures and polished red and black fruits, yet beneath is a core of salty minerals and lively acidity that adds both depth and energy to the experience. Lightly structured and wonderfully refined, this tapers off with length, leaving inner violet florals and a bitter twang of currant to linger through the otherwise-juicy finale. Binomio, a collaboration between Inama (Veneto) and La Valentina (Abruzzo), nailed the 2018 vintage. It could use some time to soften a bit through the finish and for its aromatics to evolve; but otherwise, this is already irresistible today. (Eric Guido, Vinous, October 2022)
