Duemani Toscana IGT 2015

Wine Tasting Notes for Duemani Toscana IGT 2015 by Duemani

Colour & Appearance

Clear and brilliant, the wine presents itself in a deep, dark ruby red with a black core.

Nose

Here, a hot-blooded, assertive Cabernet Franc unfolds. Alongside the striking smokiness of tobacco leaf, charcoal-roasted chestnuts and leek ash, it reveals nuanced notes of cassis, cranberry, cherry compote and fine cinnamon bark.

Palate

On the palate, this monumental powerhouse demonstrates remarkable textural density and fleshy tannins. At 14.5% ABV, the wine feels highly concentrated without being sweet in extract or overburdened. The tightly woven tannins lend it the structure of a true long-distance runner, combining puristic richness with remarkable finesse.

Terroir & Origin

The vines grow near Riparbella in an amphitheatrical vineyard site at 250 to 300 metres above sea level, approximately eight kilometres north of Bolgheri and close to the Tuscan coast. This terroir combines maritime influences with a continental climate, imparting pure power to the wines of the Maremma.

Grape Variety & Vinification

Crafted from 100% Cabernet Franc. In Luca D’Attoma’s cellar, amphorae, concrete and terracotta support natural winemaking. The Demeter-certified grapes are aged without fining or filtration, securing exceptional stability for the wine.

Food Pairings

Ideal with gratinéed morels and black trumpets with mashed potatoes, brown butter and black truffle. Equally impressive alongside roasted sirloin of beef with marrowbone, celery sticks and black garlic or a rich goose stew made from leg meat, gizzard and liver with kale and parsnips.

Key Features

Due to its monumental stature and varietal character, the flagship wine of this Demeter boutique winery is affectionately dubbed the ‘Cheval Blanc killer’. It unites uncompromising biodynamic farming with the unmistakable signature of Luca D’Attoma.
