Product description for Duemani Duemani Costa Toscana IGP 2018 (bio)

Info

This single-varietal Cabernet Franc comes from the best plots of the Riparbella vineyards. The vineyards are located at an altitude of 220–250 meters, facing the Tyrrhenian Sea. The vines are 17 years old. The soils are calcareous and rich in clay and pebbles. The manual harvest took place at the end of September, with a first selection in the vineyard. The grapes were gently destemmed to avoid damaging the skins. A second selection followed on the sorting table. Fermentation took place spontaneously in conical oak barrels with temperature-controlled maceration. 30 days of maceration followed with short, regular pump-overs. The wine was then aged for 22 months in small French oak barrels (225–228 l). 80% of the barrels are new. 20% are in their second use. No filtration before bottling. Filling date: October 16, 2020

Colour

Dark cherry red, violet reflections

Nose

The nose of the 2018 Duemani displays phenomenal concentration and density. Plums, cinnamon-preserved prunes, and blackberries kick things off. This is followed by cassis, elderberry, and raspberry. Beetroot and red bell pepper deliver ripe, vegetal notes. In addition to the aforementioned cinnamon note, cloves, cardamom, and white pepper are extracted from the spice cabinet. Dark chocolate and a small dose of cocoa butter ensure an absolute feeling of well-being. A subtle but distinct note of warm leather, horse saddle, and cigar box transports one mentally to the white horse in Saint-Émilion. Finally, violet floral notes ensure a balanced and versatile aroma of the wine. The nose is endlessly generous and inviting. Warm, yet cool and full of elegance.

Palate

On the palate, it finally reaches its peak. The symbiosis of the greatest aromatic depth with the perfect acidity and very delicate tannins. Full of finesse, cool notes, and elegance. If minerality is perfectly expressed in a red wine, then it is in this Cabernet Franc from Duemani. The intense fruit suddenly seems so feminine and delicate. The taste buds are attacked in parallel on different levels. Wonderful. Acidity and fruit repeatedly appear on the palate. The vegetal notes are pleasant and full-bodied. The finish is characterized by beetroot and bell pepper, along with chocolate and black pepper, as well as floral notes.
