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\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eminute drive from Bolgheri. The Mediterranean plays a key role in Duemani's\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eparticular micro-climate. Standing in the center of this very warm vineyard you feel\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ethe cool breeze zip between the rows of fruit. In stark contrast to Bolgheri's flat\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eterrain, the growing area of Montescudaio near Riparbella has an increase in elevation as the flat coastline morphs into low-lying coastal hills.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe estate is certified biodynamic by Demeter (http:\/\/www.demeter.net). As\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eproponents of the principles of biodynamic farming, the cultivation and care of the\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003evineyard's soil is of the utmost importance to Luca and Elena. They employ various\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003epractices throughout the year to stimulate soil vitality and health which in turn\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eprovides beneficial nutrients and oxygen to the vines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe winemaking is done in wooden barrels and cement vats without the use of\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eartificial enological additives. The finished wines reflect the vision of Luca and Elena.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLuca has made some of Italy's greatest wines; he is now making his wine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDuemani Cabernet Franc comes from careful selection in the vineyards, with great fruit, aristocratic tannins and complexity. The result is superb: mulberry, rosemary, brush and Mediterranean scrub. Sumptuous balance and impressive finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCritical Acclaim\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRP96\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRobert Parker's Wine Advocate\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAn organic and bio dynamic 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eJS96\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eJames Suckling\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctd bgcolor=\"\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/www.winefetch.com\/images\/spacer.gif\" border=\"0\" bgcolor=\"#\" width=\"1\" height=\"3\" alt=\"\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-src=\"https:\/\/www.winefetch.com\/images\/spacer.gif\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Duemani","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43124861239520,"sku":"111737","price":172.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0649\/9713\/0464\/products\/duemani-duemani-cabernet-franc_1.jpg?v=1663886582","url":"https:\/\/www.mywineconnection.com\/products\/duemani-cabernet-franc-2018-750ml","provider":"My Wine Connection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
