Deep ruby red with violet reflections and a dense, youthful colour core
Nose

Pairing
Roasted lamb with herb crust, Tuscan cinghiale (wild boar ragout), aged Pecorino
Notes
Duemani is counted among the pioneers of biodynamic viticulture in Tuscany; the Suisassi is produced without the use of sulphur and from ancient Syrah clones, which gives it a unique authenticity and purity
Tasting note
Character
The Suisassi is the flagship of Duemani and one of the most compelling proofs that Syrah is far more than a guest appearance in Tuscany. With 14.0% vol., the wine possesses weight and substance without losing the elegance that the winery of Luca Marrone and Elena Celli has cultivated as its signature for years. Biodynamic viticulture, minimal intervention in the cellar – here the terroir speaks, not the technique.
Terroir & Origin
The vineyards of Duemani lie in the Maremma Pisana, not far from the Tuscan coast, where the Mediterranean climate provides warm, dry summers, yet cool sea breezes bring freshness and tension to the grapes. The 2021 vintage is considered well-balanced in Tuscany – following a cool spring, an even, not excessively hot summer ensued, which favoured aromatic precision and good acidity structure. The Costa Toscana IGP as a designation of origin gives winemakers like Duemani the freedom to interpret international varieties with regional character.
Grape Variety & Vinification
Syrah finds in Tuscany – unlike in its homeland in the northern Rhône Valley – a Mediterranean expression: ripe, dark fruit, spicy depth and silky tannins. At Duemani, biodynamic viticulture is pursued consistently; in the cellar, a craft-based philosophy dominates with spontaneous fermentation and careful ageing methods aimed at bringing the character of the vineyard unfiltered into the glass. The result is a wine of authenticity and depth.
Food Pairing Suggestions
The Suisassi demands dishes with character. Braised lamb shoulder with rosemary, wild boar salami or a classic Bistecca alla Fiorentina are ideal companions. It also harmonises beautifully with aged Pecorino cheeses or a rustic Ribollita. A wine that tells stories at the table – and takes time to fully unfold them.
