DUEMANI 2019 - N° 9
Tuscany: New Releases from the Coast
I was quite impressed with these wines from Luca D’Attoma and Elena Celli. There’s more varietal character and greater delineation than in the past, which is great to see.

Top 100 Wine Discoveries 2020 - www.robertparker.com
Each year, our team of wine critics review approximately 30,000 wines from around the world. This year, for the first time, we’ve asked them to spotlight their most notable discoveries from among the wines they’ve reviewed in the previous 12 months. https://www.robertparker.com/wine-discoveries/about :
Duemani, G. Punto 2018
Italy, Toscana
Red, Table
Grenache
- Non Mainstream
- Eco
- Innovative
Biodyamic vintner Luca D'Attoma brings us this limited production Grenache, fermeneted and aged in Tuscan clay amphorae. This is a courageous wine to make with extended skin macerations lasting up to five months with stems. Grapes come from a site on the Tuscan Coast overlooking the Tyrrhenian Sea.
ITALY. TUSCANY. THE TUSCAN TEN. A SPOTLIGHT ON DUEMANI
MONICA LARNER : this is a series of reports that I’m calling “The Tuscan Ten.” This article will be followed by at least nine additional (and maybe a few extra) feature reports that I aim to publish on a weekly basis starting today. Each one features an exceptional or benchmark estate, and collectively these producers represent the very best of Tuscany.
ITALY'S FINEST WINES Best Italian Rosé 2020
Sì – Toscana Igt Rosato 2018 – Duemani
Description: A layered nose that ranges from white flowers, cassis and raspberry. Rich, enveloping on the palate supported by a strong acidity that gives it drinkability.
One of the best Italian rosé wines for its ability to combine character and drinkability, with a delicate and fine nose and an intense and engaging palate.

COSTA TOSCANA ROSE WINE Si 2018 - DUEMANI
A Syrah in pink, powerful and light like the sun of her Tuscany. The combination of cement and amphora preserves the integrity of the fruit and delivers its juice to the palate. Strawberry, currant and carnelian on the nose, flavor and body solidity. An all-round gastronomic wine, with personality to sell and excellent drinking.
Tuscany New Releases, Part 1 - www.vinous.com - Antonio Galloni
The journey with Italian wines is truly never-ending. Tuscany alone is a great example of that. Best of all, many of the wines in this article also offer terrific value in today’s world.

JUSTERINI AND BROOKS CLASSIC ITALIANS
... Only one estate in this J&B fine line-up, DueMani, produces wines from international varieties, in this case Cabernet Franc and Syrah. DueMani is run strictly along biodynamic lines by oenologist Luca d’Attoma and his wife Elena Celli. While tasting the wines I was wondering if it was a root day, because several of the wines poured by Elena seemed a little oaky and quite different from the elegant, energetic wines I tasted during a visit at their estate recently. Whatever the reason, their Cabernet Franc, at least on fruit days, is a textbook example of how a grape variety as recognizable as Cabernet Franc can become a real vehicle for origin, with such balance and energy that it draws your attention away from its mere varietal character.
VERONELLI 2014
Dal 2000 Luca D'Attoma, uno dei più talentuosi enologi italiani, e la moglie Elena Celli, gestiscono la loro azienda biologica e biodinamica sulle colline di Riparbella. La conformazione ad anfiteatro dei terreni ha suggerito l'impianto di Cabernet Franc, Merlot e Syrah in tre diverse vigne, dalle quali nascono vini decisamente superlativi.
