About Duemani 2019 Cabernet Franc, Costa Toscana
Luca’s most known credit is probably consulting for the Super Tuscan powerhouse Le Macchiole for over 25 years. During his time at Le Macchiole he created two of Italy’s most famous wines the Messorio Merlot and Paleo Syrah. He also credits Tua Rita’s Redigaffi as one of his creations as well.
The eponymously named Duemani is produced from 100% Cabernet Franc grapes representing the best quality of the vintage. The grapes are first harvested for Cifra, then Altrovino, and the last and best are saved for the Duemani. It is a wine that can immediately be recognized as one of the very best Cabernet Franc wines on the planet. Fantastic when young but mind blowing when aged for 8-10+ years. The winery is Biodynamic Demeter certified!
Winemaker Notes: Duemani Cabernet Franc comes from careful selection in the vineyards, with great fruit, aristocratic tannins and complexity. The result is superb: mulberry, rosemary, brush and Mediterranean scrub. Sumptuous balance and impressive finish.
James Suckling scored this 98 Points saying "Fragrant nose of violets, dried flowers, plums, morello cherries, milk chocolate and toffee. It’s supple and juicy, with a medium body and creamy tannins. Lovely, plush plum fruit and a caressing, lengthy finish. Very structured at the end. Needs a couple of years at least. This is in form like a top long distance runner. From organically/biodynamically grown grapes with Demeter certification."
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate scored this 97 Points saying "The Duemani 2019 Cabernet Franc Duemani ferments in oak and ages in barrique. This renders a very creamy and richly textured wine with substantial fruit weight, sweet spice and tobacco. There is a toasted note of espresso bean and scorched earth, but the wine is consistent with the variety and the rich nature of this vintage. It also shows elegant restraint despite its natural power. This is a full-bodied red (both organic and biodynamic) with very broad shoulders. It needs more bottle aging and eventually a double decanting before being poured."
