Detailed Description

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.

Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: Tasted as a preview prior to bottling, the Duemani 2018 Syrah Suisassi is a gorgeous wine and ultimately more balanced compared to the 2017 vintage that I tasted at the same time for comparison. The 2017 shows richer concentration and a touch of bitterness on the tannins. This 2018 vintage, however, is smooth, fine and supple. It’s a true gem and one of the best wines I have tasted yet from Luca D’Attoma and Elena Celli. Dark fruit cedes to mahogany and barbecue spice. Seamless, smooth and powerful, this is a one-way ticket into the heart of the Syrah grape without the heaviness or overextraction that you find in other warm-climate regions that focus on this variety. High-altitude vineyards facing the Tyrrhenian Sea make the difference..

Producer Information

Azienda Vitivinicola Duemani is an Italian wine producer located in Riparbella, approximately 40 kilometers (25 miles) southeast of Pisa on the Tuscan coastline. The estate was founded in this coastal area to cultivate Cabernet Franc, Syrah and Merlot grapes.Elena Celli and Luca D’Attoma established Duemani in 2000. Today, the estate extends over 10 hectares (25 acres) of land separated into four vineyards: two dedicated to Cabernet Franc, one to Merlot and one to Syrah. All four vineyards are planted on a single rocky, clay hillside at altitudes of approximately 820ft (250m) above sea level. The vineyards are all coastal-facing and cultivated according to biodynamic agricultural methods.Duemani makes a range of Costa Toscana IGT wines including several varietal red and rosé wines from Cabernet Franc and Syrah, as well as a Cabernet Franc – Merlot red blend. These wines are fermented and macerated in a range of different vessels, from temperature-controlled cement vats to oak barriques. After vinification, the wines are aged in new French oak or cement vats (depending on the wine). All of Duemani’s wines are produced without fining or filtration.
