Color
In deep dark ruby red with a black core, the wine appears clear and shiny in the glass.
Nose
With the tanned, leathery and powerful paw of a Tuscan winemaker, this Cabernet Franc taps you bravely on the shoulder and inevitably makes no secret of its nature.
It can neither be pigeonholed with the rather cool, herbaceous Cabernet Francs from the Loire Valley, nor with the high nobility from the Bordelais. Whereby the latter conjures up a little more pleasure on his red cheeks. This one is hot-blooded. The smokiness of tobacco leaf, chestnuts roasted over charcoal and leek ash leaves room for cassis, cranberry and cherry compote with cinnamon bark. Nonetheless, the main stage is for her.
Palate
At first sip, the 2015 Duemani Cabernet Franc is downright brusque. However, I would be too before disapproval, if one means to want to me after only two and a half years to the collar...
After some time, however, these two hands open.
Highly concentrated, yet far from extractive or overloaded, the wine presents itself with substantial density and fleshy tannins. Its tightly woven tannins demand a little patience to take their rightful place in the overall picture of this purist powerhouse. Definitely a long-distance runner. True to the motto "the unexpected often happens", the rare succeeds here.
Cabernet Franc through and through.
Tuscany through and through.
Without conflict of interest.
