Duemani is the culmination of the life-long passions of iconic winemaker Luca d'Attoma (http://www.lucadattoma.com) and his partner Elena Celli. The Duemani project began in 2000 with the purchase of an uncultivated piece of land in Ortacavoli, located on the outskirts of Riparbella at the Tuscan coast, about a 40
minute drive from Bolgheri. The Mediterranean plays a key role in Duemani's
particular micro-climate. Standing in the center of this very warm vineyard you feel
the cool breeze zip between the rows of fruit. In stark contrast to Bolgheri's flat
terrain, the growing area of Montescudaio near Riparbella has an increase in elevation as the flat coastline morphs into low-lying coastal hills.

The estate is certified biodynamic by Demeter (http://www.demeter.net). As
proponents of the principles of biodynamic farming, the cultivation and care of the
vineyard's soil is of the utmost importance to Luca and Elena. They employ various
practices throughout the year to stimulate soil vitality and health which in turn
provides beneficial nutrients and oxygen to the vines.

The winemaking is done in wooden barrels and cement vats without the use of
artificial enological additives. The finished wines reflect the vision of Luca and Elena.
Luca has made some of Italy's greatest wines; he is now making his wine.

An elegant, bold, and spicy interpretation with fresh clear dark fruit and potent brambly gamy notes.

Ripe black cherries, wild blackberries, blackcurrants, nutmeg, licorice, mahogany, musk and some dried thyme on the nose. It’s full-bodied and polished with intense blue and black-fruit flavors, wonderfully balanced with wood, spice and smoky notes. Velvety, integrated tannins. Such focus and precision. From biodynamically grown grapes with Demeter certification. Already stunning and hard to resist now, but better in a couple of years. Drink from 2022.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
One of the icons of the Tuscan coast, this wine is a pioneer in organic and biodynamic farming, especially in this neck of the woods. The Duemani 2018 Syrah Suisassi is beautifully generous and full-bodied. The wine delivers uninterrupted waves of black and purple fruit, all followed up by spice, baker's chocolate and softly cured tobacco. As is the case with Luca D'Attoma's Cabernet Franc Duemani that I also tasted as an unfinished wine, I am pleased to say that these final results more than delivered on my expectations. This is mostly thanks to the wine's balance and power.
