Duemani DUEMANI IGP Costa Toscana 2011

In 2000, we found land in Riparbella where we could establish our project: an extreme and modest place, mainly clayish and with many stones, uncultivated for many years and surrounded by Mediterranean shrubs. This is a hill that smells of the sea and forest. It face the coast at an altitude of 820 feet. There is sun, light and a continuous breeze that guarantees temperature range, fundamental for bouquet and slow maturation, the promise of perfect balance.

The shape of the slope looks like an amphitheater, where we have planted three vineyards: Cabernet Franc on the top, Merlot towards the bottom, and a small goblet-shaped vineyard of Syrah in the middle, the heart of our estate, over a very rocky and dry soil.
In 2014 we will plant three more hectares of Cabernet Franc at 1150 ft. altitude, situated
in the fantastic hollow around our winery, so that the total extension of the vineyards will be more than 10 hectares.
