Duemani Cabernet Franc 2022

Duemani Cabernet Franc 2022 is a biodynamic Tuscan red made entirely from Cabernet Franc, offering a distinctive coastal expression shaped by Mediterranean breezes and mineral-rich soils. Founded in Riparbella in 2000, Duemani has built its reputation on carefully farmed wines that bring the character of the Costa Toscana to the fore.

Tasting Notes
Bright ruby red in the glass, it opens with aromas of wild berries and blackberries, followed by dark tobacco, leafy nuances and notes of Mediterranean scrub. The palate is supple and composed, with silky tannins and ripe fruit balanced by lively freshness and a subtle saline edge that carries through a long finish. Its structure and maturation in French oak give it the substance to develop further in bottle, though no specific drinking window is provided.

Production
The vineyards lie in Ortacavoli, near Riparbella, on hillsides reaching around 250 metres above sea level. Coastal breezes help preserve freshness, while clay- and salt-influenced soils over a calcareous subsoil contribute to the wine’s precise fruit character. The vines are trained using the Guyot system, planted at high density and kept to low yields. Grapes are hand-harvested and gently destemmed before spontaneous fermentation in truncated-cone oak vats, followed by extended skin maceration with gentle pump-overs. The wine is matured in French oak, mostly new, and bottled without fining or filtration.

Food & Serving
Serve with grilled red meat, game or mature cheeses. A serving temperature of 16–18°C should allow its fruit, savoury aromas and freshness to show well. Consider decanting shortly before serving to let the wine open up.

Producer
Duemani was established in 2000 in Riparbella, on the Tuscan coast. Under the direction of winemaker Luca D’Attoma, the estate follows a rigorous biodynamic approach, with Cabernet Franc among its defining varieties. Its wines are valued for expressing the coastal character of the Costa Toscana; the supplied information also notes a 95-point Robert Parker rating for the 2021 vintage, rather than the 2022.
