A pure and juicy red with black berries, juicy fruit, spice and fresh herbs, like thyme. Some terra-cotta. Medium-bodied with juicy fruit and a creamy texture. Plenty of flavor at the end. From biodynamically grown grapes with Demeter certification. Drink or hold.

COMMENTARY: The 2020 Duemani CiFRA Cabernet Franc offers a smooth and delectable ride on the palate. TASTING NOTES: This wine shows aromas and flavors of mineral notes, chalkiness, black fruits, and savory spices. Pair it with slowly braised meat dishes.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Tasted before its release, the Duemani 2020 Cabernet Franc CiFRA was bottled in June and should hit the market shortly. This was a warm vintage, and I taste the ripeness of the fruit in the wine's thick layers of black cherry and blackberry. The wine offers ample fruit weight and discernible sweetness on the tannins. Winemaking takes this wine through cement vats and terracotta jars. The fruit is certified biodynamic and organic.

In 2000 Elena Celli and Luca D'Attoma found in Riparbella the land where they gave life to their project: an extreme and severe place, mainly clayish and with many stones, uncultivated for many years and surrounded by Mediterranean shrubs. This is a hill that smells of the sea and forest. It faces the coast at an altitude of 250-300 meters (approx. 820-980 feet). There is sun, light and a continuous breeze that guarantees temperature range, fundamental for bouquet and slow maturation, the promise of perfect balance. The idea behind establishing their winery on the Coast of Tuscany was to produce wines from their favorite grapes: Cabernet Franc, Syrah and Merlot and here, both climate and soil, are ideal for these grape varieties. They decided from the beginning to cultivate the land following Biodynamic Agriculture, in order to respect and preserve this immaculate environment and maintain a pure and lively soil. In this way, they have grapes that are rich in aromas, flavors and originality to produce good, clean, direct and tasty wines, each with its own unique and recognizable character.
Legendary in Italy for its Renaissance art and striking landscape, Tuscany is also home to many of the country’s best red wines. Sangiovese reigns supreme here, as either the single varietal, or a dominant player, in almost all of Tuscany’s best.
A remarkable Chianti, named for its region of origin, will have a bright acidity, supple tannins and plenty of cherry fruit character. From the hills and valleys surrounding the medieval village of Montalcino, come the distinguished and age-worthy wines based on Brunello (Sangiovese). Earning global acclaim since the 1970s, the Tuscan Blends are composed solely of international grape varieties or a mix of international and Sangiovese. The wine called Vine Nobile di Montepulciano, composed of Prognolo Gentile (Sangiovese) and is recognized both for finesse and power.
