James Suckling 99pt

Very deep and dark fruit in the nose, with violets, ink, blackberries, roasted meat, asphalt and spices. Wet earth, too. Medium-to full-bodied with creamy tannins and a wonderful finish. Ink and slate notes develop. From biodynamically grown grapes with Demeter certification. Drink or hold.

The Duemani 2019 Syrah Suisassi is a dark, full-bodied wine with an almost impenetrable appearance. This vintage delivers a powerful bouquet and a richly textured mouthfeel that is interwoven with meaty dark fruit, cured tobacco, dark cola, licorice and more exotic spice. The effect is very pretty, especially the manner in which these aromas mirror each other with seamless transitions. There is a special intensity here that reflects the detailed-minded character of winemaker Luca D'Attoma. Thirty percent whole cluster is used.

Estate

The name DueMani represents two hands from two people, Elena Celli and Luca D’Attoma. Elena was born and lives in Lucca. She studied marketing at Polimoda in Florence and worked in the fashion industry for many years. Luca was born in Borgo San Lorenzo, outside of Florence. A famous winemaker, he founded a winemaking and viticultural consulting company in 1991 called Wine Evolution Consulting (W.E.C.) through which he collaborates with wineries from various regions of Italy as well as Spain and Switzerland for the production of high quality wines. Luca’s most known credit is probably consulting for the Super Tuscan powerhouse Le Macchiole for over 25 years. During his time at Le Macchiole he created two of Italy’s most famous wines the Messorio Merlot and Paleo Syrah. He also credits Tua Rita’s Redigaffi as one of his creations as well.

Description

The Suisassi is produced from 100% Syrah and represents Elena’s vision of their small patch of Syrah. This tiny bottling rarely exceeds 4,000 bottles but is one of the most important 100% Syrah wines in the world. An elegant, bold, and spicy interpretation with fresh clear dark fruit and potent brambly gamy notes. Biodynamic Demeter

Tasting notes

Balanced with structure and intensity. It explodes on the nose with black berry fruit, thyme, sweet spices and liquorice. The body is full and rich on the palate and expresses great flavor, freshness and silky tannins.
