Duemani, 2013
Vivid and sapid. So fine and seamless. Fresh, salty, elegant red and dark hedgerow and summer fruits. Intense but vital and juicy. This is their best effort yet, like the 2010 in style but with more finesse and charm, effortless . Cabernet Franc seems to have found a new home, on the Tuscan coast. Duemani’s owners Elena Celli and Luca d’Attoma were the first to realise the potential of this grape here and produced a 100% Cabernet Franc, named after the estate. Now this trend seems to have caught on with others in the region doing the same. Biodynamically farmed. Fermented and aged for 18 months in 80 percent new oak. Only 750 six packs were made.
critic reviews
The 2013 Duemani is cool, reserved and very much closed in on itself, with less of the aromatic and explosive energy it had in barrel. Herb, smoke, black cherry and plum infuse the deep, concentrated mid-palate. There is plenty of richness and persistence, but the 2013 comes across as a bit monolithic and not as delineated as it was a year ago, especially in the aromatics, where focus is lacking.
