Duemani Costa Toscana IGP 2021 1500ml Magnum

Wine Description for Duemani Costa Toscana IGP 2021 1500ml Magnum by Duemani

Character

Duemani ranks among the progressive projects of the Tuscan wine scene, deliberately moving away from traditional Sangiovese paths. This single-varietal Cabernet Franc in the imposing magnum bottle embodies a modern, internationally-influenced interpretation of Tuscan winemaking art. At 15% alcohol, the 2021 vintage shows itself powerful and concentrated, yet with the aromatic finesse and elegance characteristic of Cabernet Franc.

Terroir & Origin

The Duemani winery is located in the Alta Maremma, a coastal zone in southern Tuscany, distinguished by maritime influences and mineral-rich soils. The Costa Toscana IGP classification gives winemakers greater freedom in varietal selection – a deliberate choice against the constraints of traditional DOC regulations. The Mediterranean climate with cool sea breezes allows for an extended ripening period whilst preserving freshness, ideal conditions for Cabernet Franc, which can fully express its aromatic complexity here.

Grape Variety & Vinification

Cabernet Franc is experiencing a renaissance in Tuscany as a standalone variety, freed from its role as a blending partner. The grape typically brings spicy notes of graphite, violets and red peppers, combined with a vibrant acidity structure. At Duemani, the wine is likely aged in French barriques, which imparts additional structure and complexity. The magnum bottle favours a slower, more harmonious development and is a statement of ageing potential.

Food Pairing Recommendations

A wine of this concentration demands robust dishes: Bistecca alla Fiorentina, braised wild boar or lamb rack with herb crust are classic companions. The spicy notes of Cabernet Franc harmonise beautifully with mushroom dishes, aged Pecorino or duck breast with fig reduction. The magnum bottle predestines this wine for festive occasions with multiple guests.
