Duemani

Starönologe Luca D'Attoma hat mit Cifra einen herrlich agilen und eleganten Cabernet Franc vinifiziert. Helles Rubinviolett, tiefgründiger Duft mit Noten von Brombeeren und Lakritze. Satte Frucht am Gaumen mit straffem Tannin und mineralischem Finale. Ein Hochgenuss von der toskanischen Küste aus biodynamischem (Demeter-)Anbau. SUPERIORE.DE

"Intensives, leuchtendes Rubinrot mit leicht aufhellendem Kern. In der Nase gezeichnet von klarer Frucht, reife Himbeere mit Schwarzer Johannisbeere. Zeigt sich am Mund unkompliziert und frisch, saftiger Mittelteil, jungendlich mit frischem Tannin bis zum Finale." Falstaff

"Bottled in July 2019, the 2018 Cabernet Franc CiFRA is an easy take on this Bordeaux grape that saw only cement. Without the wood, this is a tighter and spicier expression with lots of tension, freshness and energy" Robert Parker

"A beautiful, bright red with sliced berries and cherries, as well as fresh flowers. Medium to full body. Light tannins and a crisp finish. Shows focus and finesse, as always. No wood. All cement. From biodynamically grown grapes." James Suckling

"The 2018 Cifra is a total knockout. Fresh, vibrant and full of aromatic intensity, the 2018 boasts superb flavor intensity and exceptional balance. Inky red and purplish berry fruit, lavender, spice and dried flowers all race out of the glass in a boisterous, generous wine that hits all the right notes." Vinous

"Undurchdringliches Granat mit leichter Randaufhellung. Fruchtgetragenes Bukett nach kleinen dunkler Waldbeeren, viel Cassis, Gewürznelke, ein Hint Zimt. Baut sich saftig auf, mit schönem Wechselspiel zwischen Säure und Frucht, griffiges eingbundenes Tannin, geschmeidig, öffnet sich finessenreich im Finish, mit enormem Trinkfluss." Falstaff

"Made with organically grown Cabernet Franc, this opens with aromas of black plum, cedar and Mediterranean scrub. The bright, savory palate offers black currant, rhubarb, ground clove and star anise alongside polished tannins." Wine Enthusiast

"The 2019 CiFRA, 100% Cabernet Franc, is an attractive, mid-weight wine done in a style that exalts freshness. Even so, there is plenty of the natural richness that makes Maremma so compelling. Rose petal, cinnamon and sweet red berry fruit are nicely lifted throughout. CiFra is done with shorter macerations than the flagship wines, aged in cement and bottled before the following harvest, all decisions taken keep the flavors vibrant. That certainly works here." Vinous

"Lots of fun and delicious raspberry, light basil-leaf and walnut character. It’s medium-to full-bodied with a well poised, fruity finish. No wood. All in cement." James Suckling

"Made with biodynamic and organic fruit, the Duemani 2019 Cabernet Franc CiFRA is a bright and articulate entry-level wine from this top-level estate. The grape is left to speak for itself, as the wine sees very little meddling or intervention back at the winery. Most of the winemaking process is done in cement vats, and you taste the purity of the grape skins and juice as a result. Dark cherry and blackberry segue to tilled earth, dried oregano and cola. The results are fresh, tight and vertical." Robert Parker

Dieser unfiltrierte und in 300-Liter-Amphoren ausgebaute Rosato ist das Ergebnis strengster Selektion von Syrah-Trauben des Weinguts. Das spontan vergorene und Demeter-zertifizierte Ergebnis sind gerade mal 4.000 Flaschen, die in den ausgesuchten Fachhandel und die Gastronomie gelangen. Betörendes, intensives Bouquet nach rosa Pampelmuse, Himbeere und Preiselbeere. Am Gaumen straff, saftig und lebendig - eine perfekte Harmonie von Ausdruck, Frische und Körper. SUPERIORE.DE

"Leuchtendes Altrosa. In der Nase nach satter Erdbeere und Kirsche, leichte Würze, deutlich blumige Komponenten, Blaubeeren, auch leichter Tomatenduft. Am Gaumen klar, fruchtsüß und elegant, breitet sich schön über die Zunge, mit toller Säure und geschliffener Frucht." Falstaff

"The Duemani 2020 Sì is a Syrah-based rosé that has been fermented in amphorae. The type of clay used here is white in color and comes from quarries in Trentino, in the far north of Italy. The tight density of the clay and long kiln baking times make these vessels anaerobic, almost like a stainless steel vat. As a result, this wine is sharp and pristine, with tight aromas of white cherry, cassis and crushed stone. There is a lot of energy and acidic nerve in this easy-drinking Tuscan rosé." Robert Parker

"This has a pale rose-gold color with aromas of flowers, strawberries and chalk. It’s medium-bodied with a creamy, rounded texture. Excellent balance." James Suckling

Altrovino ist eine feine Mischung aus Merlot und Cabernet Franc. Intensives, sattes Rubinrot. Opulenter Duft nach schwarzen Früchten, Leder und Tabak. Am Gaumen anmutig und sehr charmant, vielschichtig in den Aromen, samtig und lang. Schon heute ein harmonischer Genuss wird dieser Wein eine kontinuierliche Karriere einschlagen. SUPERIORE.DE

"A blend of organically grown Merlot and Cabernet Franc, this opens with aromas of cassis, underbrush, bell pepper and bay leaf. The savory palate offers spiced blueberry, licorice and tobacco alongside fine-grained tannins." Wine Enthusiast

"A juicy, fruity red with plum, berry and chocolate character, medium to full body and round, polished tannins. Pretty intensity and focus at the finish, where the flavors pop out. From biodynamically grown grapes." James Suckling

"After the rich and more concentrated 2017 vintage, the 2018 Merlot Cabernet Franc Altrovino comes off as more specific to the grapes used in the blend. It shows light shadings of garden herb and spice that come from the Cabernet Franc, and those flavors are enhanced by the cherry and blackberry delivered by the Merlot. This is a beautifully pure expression, one of the clearest I remember in recent memory. The wine pours forth with dark fruit, spice, tilled earth and cured tobacco." Robert Parker

Suisassi ist eine hervorragende Interpretation des edlen Syrah. Großzügiger, voller Duft, klar und mit einem exotischen Hauch von Kardamom und Zimtstange. Die Frucht ist dunkel und extraktreich, die Tannine auf einem guten Weg in die perfekte Integration. SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2012 Syrah Suisassi brings together the density and richness of the Tuscan coast, but the inclusion of whole clusters adds freshness and also seems to bring forward considerable varietal character. Sweet dark cherries, violets, lavender, quinine and spices are some of the many notes that grace the open-knit finish. The Syrah is fermented and aged in cask, a technique Luca D'Attoma first used at Le Macchiole." VINOUS

"So many syrah aromas and flavors here with dried meat, spice and dark berry character. Full body, round and silky tannins and a flavorful finish. So much character to this but then a fresh and subtle finish." James Suckling

"Tiefdunkles, sattes Rubin-Violett. Sehr intensive Nase, eröffnet mit Noten nach Eukalyptus und Marille, dann Holunderbeeren und etwas grüner Pfeffer. Am Gaumen mächtig und kompakt, hat viel süßen Fruchtschmelz, aus dem heraus entfaltet sich geschmeidiges Tannin, saftig und mit sehr langem Nachhall." Falstaff

Syrah Suisassi ist reich und ausdrucksstark. Das Bouquet überzeugt mit Aromen von Salbei, Rosmarin, wilden Blumen, Lakritze, Veilchen und Pflaumen. Am Gaumen sehr voll und rund mit Erinnerungen an Beeren, Schokolade und Nüsse. Elegant und intellektuell. SUPERIORE.DE

"Sattes, dunkles Rubin-Violett, undurchdringlich. Eröffnet in der Nase mit Noten nach Holunderbeeren, sehr klar, viel saftige und präzise herausgearbeitete Frucht. Am Gaumen vibrierend, nach Gewürzen und dunkler Frucht, saftig, spannt mit feinmaschigem Tannin einen weiten Bogen, sehr langer Nachhall, hohe Eleganz." Falstaff

"The 2013 Syrah Suisassi is faithful to the grape and shows abundant notes of blackberry, cured meat, exotic spice and grilled herb. Luca D’Attoma has been experimenting with increased stem inclusion. In the 2012 vintage, 30% of the mass saw stem inclusion, but that figure rises to 100% with the 2016 vintage. This Syrah is an extremely well integrated and smoothly textured. The oak still needs time to integrate, but past tasting experiences with Suisassi give excellent promise for its age-worthiness. Luca believes stem inclusion provokes a slightly reduced effect when the wine is young. For this reason, you should wait before popping the cork. The 2013 vintage in particular boasts an all-Rhône approach." Robert Parker

"This is setting a new benchmark for syrah with so much intensity yet it remains refined and velvety textured. Medium to full body, fine tannins and a long and flavorful finish. So much licorice, smoked meat and spice. Light berry. Green apple skin. What a wine." James Suckling

"Duemani's 2013 Syrah Suisassi is impressive. The inclusion of a third of whole clusters adds considerable aromatic lift and nuance to the dark fruit flavors. Lavender, mint, sage, licorice and plum are all pushed forward. Beams of underlying acidity shape the expressive, saline finish." VINOUS

Der reinsortige Cabernet Franc Duemani ist ein hervorragender Wein. Das Bouquet von außergewöhnlicher Klarheit nach dunkler Pflaume, Kaffee und wilden Rosen. Reich und mit perfekt integrierter Holznote am Gaumen, besonders faszinierend ist seine strukturelle Eleganz. SUPERIORE.DE

"The beautiful 2015 Cabernet Franc Duemani shows the heat of the summer growing season in a bold and upfront manner. The wine is impenetrable and inky dark in appearance. It is not jammy per se, but that brilliant Tuscan sunshine seems to bubble up from inside the dark fiber of this thickly extracted expression. The bouquet flows forth with generous blackberry, spice and cured tobacco. Overall the integration is seamless and impressively balanced." Robert Parker

Syrah Suisassi ist reich und ausdrucksstark. Das Bouquet überzeugt mit Aromen von Salbei, Rosmarin, wilden Blumen, Lakritze, Veilchen und Pflaumen. Am Gaumen sehr voll und rund mit Erinnerungen an Beeren, Schokolade und Nüsse. Elegant und intellektuell. SUPERIORE.DE

"Rich and explosive in the glass, the 2015 Suisassi has a lot to offer. A blast of heady blueberry jam, crème de cassis, leather and pepper notes emerges as this big, tannic wine gradually starts to open up. The 30% stems add quite a bit of savoriness without dominating the wine's balance. This is very nicely done, especially within the context of the year." VINOUS

"The blackberries and cloves are intense on the nose with licorice and hints of eucalyptus, too. Full body, extremely fine tannins and citrus rind undertones. Tight and composed. I love the length." James Suckling

"4000 Flaschen werden von diesem Wein produziert, der im Holz ausgebaut wird: Einladende Nase nach Wacholderbeeren, Tabak und Kräutern; am Gaumen saftig, kompakt, mit akurat integrierter Säure, elegant und lang." Vinum

"The 2016 Suisassi brings together power and freshness to a degree that is quite rare on the coast. Inky dark purplish fruit, leather, licorice, plum, lavender and spice come together in a deep Syrah endowed with tremendous concentration as well as power. Time in the glass brings out the wine's explosive energy and tension. The 30% whole clusters are evident, but not overly so." Vinous

"There is a lot of gorgeous spice in the 2016 Syrah Suisassi, along with candied fruit, cherry and notes of blackberry. The Syrah takes very well to 20 months in oak, retaining a freshness and fruity sweetness to accompany the spice. The mouthfeel is velvety and rich. In the end, this is a fine and elegant expression of Syrah that I could envision serving with a creamy steak au poivre." Robert Parker

"Wow. This shows amazing aromas of foie gras, game, pepper and spice with the dark fruit. Full body and soft, juicy tannins that form the wild and exotic, syrah character in the aftertaste. Love this. From biodynamically grown grapes. Demeter-certified." James Suckling

Der reinsortige Cabernet Franc Duemani ist für uns einer der besten Vertreter der westtoskanischen Küstenregion. Das Bouquet von außergewöhnlicher Klarheit nach dunkler Pflaume, Kaffee und wilden Rosen. Reich und mit perfekt integrierter Holznote am Gaumen, besonders faszinierend ist seine Struktur und Eleganz. SUPERIORE.DE

"Sattes Rubinrot mit leichtem Granatschimmer. Eröffnet mit feinen Gewürznoten, nach Zimt und Ingwer, dann nach dunklen Johannisbeeren und Holunderbeeren. Am Gaumen erdig-würzige Noten, schwebt auf einem feinem Gewürzteppich dahin, saftige Frucht, öffnet sich mit präsentem, dichtem Tannin, im Finale satter Druck." Falstaff

"The 2016 Duemani is a powerful and explosive wine. Dark red cherry, tobacco, cedar, plum, dried flowers, leather and licorice all race out of the glass as this rich, dense Cabernet Franc shows off its personality. Aged 20 months in French oak, the 2016 is a wine of great power and density. I would prefer to drink it on the young side, to take advantage of the wine's superb depth and intensity. This is an outstanding vintage for the Duemani." Vinous

"This vintage is profound and beautiful. The 2016 Cabernet Franc Duemani shows deep layers of fruit, with levels of crunchiness and complexity that make it memorable. The mouthfeel is silky, long and rich. The maturity of the fruit here is perfect. In terms of appearance, the wine is dark and impenetrable. All around, this Duemani is an extremely tight, focused and elegant expression of Cabernet Franc." Robert Parker

"A layered and rich cabernet franc with tobacco, blackberries, bark and licorice. Full body, very fine tannins that are polished with beautiful fruit and a long, long finish. Shows muscle yet polish. Needs four or five years to soften." James Suckling

"Funkelndes, intensive Rubin-Violett. Sehr intensive und klare Nase, satt nach reifen Waldhimbeeren, Brombeeren, im Hintergrund etwas eingelegte rote Beete, dezente erdige Noten, auch Tabak. Im Ansatz sehr saftig, reife Beerenfrucht, öffnet sich mit feinmaschigem Tannin, großartiger Trinkfluss, im Finale nach Tabak." Falstaff

"An organic and biodynamic wine, the 2018 Cabernet Franc Duemani presents a thick and nearly impenetrable wall of dark fruit, pressed blackberry, spice, smoky tar and tobacco. This wine shows impeccable aromatic integration with the high notes and the baritone notes delivered in beautiful synchronization. This wine outpaced my initial expectations following my first tasting of this vintage from barrel. The tannins are integrated and there is a sweet, fruity note on the full-bodied close." Robert Parker

"This has an aromatic array of ripe red and black cherries, blackcurrants, blueberries, cloves, cedar, fresh herbs and licorice. It’s full-bodied, incredibly smooth and polished with layers of ripe fruit and chocolate, yet with lifting freshness. Fine, silky tannins and a long finish. Lingering chocolate and spices. From biodynamically grown grapes with Demeter certification." James Suckling

"Kraftvolles, dunkle Rubin-Violett. Sehr ausdrucksvolle und ansprechende Nase, satt nach reifen Heidelbeeren und Brombeeren, reife Zwetschken, sehr klar Frucht, im Hintergrund auch satte Würze. Saftig und satt am Gaumen, zeigt viel prägnante Beerenfrucht, griffiges, dichtmaschiges Tannin, sehr langer Nachhall." Falstaff

"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." Robert Parker

"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." James Suckling
