🏰 【An exceptional organic and biodynamic Cabernet Franc from Tuscany, highly praised with 96 points from Robert Parker and James Suckling, showcasing impeccable aromatic integration and a sumptuous balance.】 Duemani's 2018 Cabernet Franc is crafted from biodynamically grown grapes with Demeter certification, reflecting the winery's commitment to sustainable practices. [1, 4, 14, 26] Winemaker Luca d'Attoma is a key figure in promoting Cabernet Franc in Tuscany, where it's gaining importance due to its performance in extreme vintages. [33] The wine undergoes spontaneous fermentation in conical oak vessels, 30 days maceration, and 22 months maturation in 80% new French barriques, bottled unfiltered. [27] This wine presents 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. Expect fine, silky tannins and a long finish with lingering chocolate and spices. It can also show a thick, nearly impenetrable wall of dark fruit, pressed blackberry, spice, smoky tar, and tobacco, with phenomenal concentration of plums, cassis, beetroot, red pepper, and violet floral notes. [1, 4, 14, 26, 27] 🍴 Excellent with braised ox cheeks with sweet potato purée, Cote de Boeuf with Bearnaise sauce, or roasted beetroot with Pimientos de Padron. [27] 🥂 An exceptional wine perfect for any occasion, from a casual gathering to a more refined dinner. It's approachable in its youth but also possesses the structure for further enjoyment. [4, 33]
