The estate and the wine
The estate and the wine A master of Tuscan Syrah, Luca d’Attoma established Duemani on untouched land, driven by a visionary approach to the grape and its potential. For over two decades, he has crafted stunning wines, complementing the Rhône Valley varietal palette with Cabernet Franc, treated with the same dedication to depth and finesse.

Biodynamic farming plays a central role in these exceptional creations, grounding them in sustainability and a long-term vision. His single-varietal wines are true treasures, earning the admiration of Olivier Poussier, our Best Sommelier in the World.
Wine Crafted entirely from Cabernet Franc, the Toscana Costa Duemani 2018 is a wine of remarkable depth and vitality. Its refined graphite notes, perfectly ripened character, and polished tannins create a seamless, sophisticated profile. This is an exceptional bottle with great aging potential, offering both immediate pleasure and the promise of development over the years. Rated 95/100 by Olivier Poussier and 96/100 by Parker, it's a true testament to the heights this varietal can achieve in Tuscany.
