Duemani Costa Toscana IGP 2019 1500ml Magnum

Wine Description for Duemani Costa Toscana IGP 2019 1500ml Magnum by Duemani

Colour & Appearance

Deep, sparkling cherry red with violet reflections – a visual promise of power and youth.

Nose

This single varietal Cabernet Franc is a masterclass in complexity. Cinnamon plums, damsons and mulberries dominate, complemented by fig and blackberry. The vegetable side of Cabernet Franc presents itself with confidence through beetroot, artichoke and cooked red pepper – notes that lend depth and authenticity. Dark florals such as hibiscus and violet contrast elegantly with the fruit. Sage, marjoram and a hint of thyme provide cooling, ethereal accents. Subtle hints of cedarwood, mocha and dark chocolate round out the aromatic spectrum.

Palate

Compact, densely woven, fine-meshed – this wine is a powerhouse with finesse. The fruit pushes forward powerfully, supported by present acidity. The tannin is in perfect ripeness: elegant, meltingly soft, yet structure-giving. The vegetable notes of tomato and beetroot lend impressive depth. Dark chocolate and coffee manifest themselves persistently.

Finish

Long, spicy and of remarkable precision. The chocolate and coffee notes remain present, whilst the herbal spice fades elegantly.

Terroir & Origin

The finest parcels in Riparbella at 220-250 metres altitude, with views towards the Tyrrhenian Sea. Calcareous soils, rich in clay and pebbles, lend this wine its characteristic minerality and structure. Seventeen-year-old vines deliver concentrated, expressive grapes.

Grape Variety & Vinification

100% Cabernet Franc, hand-harvested at the end of September. Spontaneous fermentation in conical oak barrels, 30 days of skin contact. 22 months ageing in French barriques (225-228l), 80% of which are new. Bottled unfiltered – an uncompromising approach for maximum expression.

Food Pairing Recommendations

Venison loin with nut crust, pink roasted duck breast with hoisin sauce or crispy fried aubergine with garlic and black olives. The vegetable notes harmonise brilliantly with vegetable dishes, whilst the structure accompanies robust game dishes with supreme confidence.

Special Features

Matured in magnum format (1500ml) – ideal for extended cellaring and special occasions. This wine embodies the modern Tuscan interpretation of Cabernet Franc: profound, honest, uncompromising.
