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 youthfulness.

Nose

This single varietal Cabernet Franc is simply impressive. The nose reveals a fascinating complexity between fruit and spice: cinnamon plums, damsons and mulberries dominate, supported by fig and blackberry. Dark floral notes – hibiscus, violet, mallow – lend depth and elegance. The characteristic herbaceous side of Cabernet Franc shows itself in beetroot, artichoke, tomato and cooked red pepper. To this are added sage, marjoram and thyme, which provide cooling, ethereal accents. Delicate hints of cedarwood, warm leather, mocha and melted dark chocolate round off the aromatic spectrum, whilst a touch of eucalyptus provides a fresh finale.

Palate

On the palate, the wine presents itself as incredibly compact and densely woven – fine-meshed, still slightly veiled, with enormous development potential. The fruit pushes forward powerfully, accompanied by present acidity that guarantees freshness and tension. The tannins are already in perfect ripeness: elegant and meltingly delicate, without any harshness. The herbaceous notes – particularly tomato and beetroot – lend the wine additional profundity and complexity. In the finish, dark chocolate and coffee manifest themselves once more.

Terroir & Origin

The grapes come from the finest parcels in Riparbella, at 220-250 metres altitude, facing the Tyrrhenian Sea. The 17-year-old vines are rooted in calcareous soils rich in clay and pebbles – ideal conditions for structured, mineral Cabernet Franc.

Grape Variety & Vinification

100% Cabernet Franc, hand-harvested at the end of September. Spontaneous fermentation in conical oak barrels, 30 days of skin contact. Subsequently 22 months ageing in French barriques (80% new, 20% second fill). Bottled unfiltered – artisanal perfection.

Food Pairing Suggestions

With venison loin with nut crust, Romanesco and pan-fried potato gnocchi, duck breast cooked pink with hoisin sauce, pak choi and braised plum or crispy fried aubergine with garlic, mint and black olives.

Special Features

In the impressive magnum bottle (1500ml) – perfect for special occasions and optimal ageing potential.
