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.

A wine with exceptional texture and grace the Altrovino represents the blending of Luca’s two favorite grapes, Cabernet Franc and Merlot. The aromatic intensity of the Cab Franc coupled with the lush, rich juiciness of the Merlot creates a powerful and complex wine that suitable for a wide variety of meals and occasions. It is the only blend produced at the winery.

This wine shows an impeccably precise and detailed bouquet. Beautiful and polished with bright aromas of wild berry, sour cherry, prune, spice and leather with a touch of fine mineral that adds an even greater sense of finesse and elegance on the finish.
