Duemani Costa Toscana IGP 2021 1500ml Magnum

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

Character

Duemani belongs to those Tuscan producers who have deliberately stepped away from the well-trodden path of Chianti. Rather than Sangiovese, the estate consistently focuses on Cabernet Franc – a grape variety that is increasingly developing its own profile in Tuscany. The 2021 Costa Toscana IGP embodies this independent approach: powerful at 15% alcohol, yet without the heaviness of many international varieties in this region. The magnum format moreover promises more harmonious development and greater ageing potential.

Terroir & Origin

The Maremma, that wild coastal strip of southern Tuscany, has established itself as an insider tip for ambitious winemakers over recent decades. Far from the historical wine-growing centres, this region offers maritime influences that provide cooling breezes and balanced temperatures. The soils are mineral-rich, often with clay and limestone components, which lend the Cabernet Franc structure and depth. The 2021 vintage benefited from an overall balanced growing cycle.

Grape Variety & Vinification

Cabernet Franc shows a different side in Tuscany than in the Loire Valley: warmer, more concentrated, with riper tannins. Nevertheless, the variety retains its characteristic aromatic freshness with notes of violets, green pepper and dark berries. Duemani cultivates a style that combines power with elegance – crafted with meticulous care, without appearing over-extracted. Vinification is traditional, with ageing typically in French barriques, which lend the wine complexity without dominating it.

Food Pairing Suggestions

A wine of this structure calls for substantial dishes: Bistecca alla Fiorentina, braised wild boar or lamb shank with rosemary are classic companions. The Cabernet Franc also unfolds its full power alongside aged Pecorino cheeses or pappardelle with wild ragù. The magnum bottle makes it an ideal companion for festive occasions and larger gatherings.
