Duemani Costa Toscana IGP 2019 3000ml Doppel-Magnum

Wine Description for Duemani Costa Toscana IGP 2019 3000ml Double Magnum by Duemani

Colour & Appearance

Dark, sparkling cherry red with luminous violet reflections – a wine that displays its youth and vitality in the glass.

Nose

Here reveals the full complexity of a great Cabernet Franc. The nose shifts fascinatingly between fruit and vegetal spice: cinnamon plums, damsons and mulberries merge with fig and blackberry. Dark floral notes of hibiscus, violet and mallow provide elegant counterpoints. The varietal vegetal character shows through beetroot, artichoke, tomato and cooked red pepper – never green or unripe, but profound and honest. Sage, marjoram and thyme bring herbal spice, whilst cedarwood, warm leather, mocha and melted dark chocolate elegantly integrate the barrel ageing. A hint of eucalyptus rounds off the aromatic spectrum.

Palate

Incredibly compact and densely woven, this Cabernet Franc presents itself on the palate – tightly knit, still slightly veiled, with enormous development potential. The fruit pushes forward powerfully, accompanied by present acidity that guarantees freshness and tension. The tannin is already in perfect ripeness: elegant, meltingly soft, never aggressive. The vegetal notes of tomato and beetroot lend additional depth and complexity. Dark chocolate and coffee manifest themselves sustainably.

Finish

Long, spicy and of remarkable persistence. The herbal spice resonates subtly, whilst chocolate and roasted notes elegantly conclude the finish.

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 Cabernet Franc with depth.

Grape Variety & Vinification

Vinified as a single varietal from Cabernet Franc. Spontaneous fermentation in conical oak vats, 30 days‘ maceration, followed by 22 months‘ ageing in French barriques (80% new, 20% second use). Bottled unfiltered – a wine without compromise.

Food Pairing Suggestions

Saddle of venison with nut crust, pink-roasted duck breast with hoisin sauce and braised plum, or crispy roasted aubergine with garlic, mint and black olives harmonise perfectly with this complex Cabernet Franc.

Special Features

The imposing double magnum bottle (3 litres) guarantees optimal ageing conditions and makes this wine the perfect collector’s piece for special occasions.
