Tasting notes
A beautiful Cabernet Franc with roses, dark berry and dried mushroom. Sweet plum and prune give it an elegant momentum. Full body, very fine with a lovely finish.
Description
Cifra is the lifeblood of Duemani. It is the most accessible expression of their Cabernet Franc and Luca’s favorite variety. The wine is fermented in cement and aged entirely in amphora creating a wide and open wine with precise fruit and broad spice component. Cifra represents the largest production on the estate at 16,000 – 20,000 bottles annually and is presented as the heart and soul of the winery. Biodynamic Demeter
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.
