Toscana
Tuscany is a major wine region, both in terms of the size of its vineyards and the reputation of its wines. Located in central Italy, along the Tyrrhenian coast, Tuscany boasts over forty DOC (Denominazioni di Origine Controllata) and over ten DOCG (Denominazione di origine controllata e garantita) wines, including some of the country's best-known, such as Chianti, Carmignano and Brunello di Montalcino.

Tuscany's climate is, of course, Mediterranean. However, the region is steep and the heat of Tuscan summers is tempered by the high altitude of the vineyards. This is particularly beneficial to the Sangiovese grape variety, typical of the region, when the hillside vineyards benefit from maximum sunshine. The wide temperature variations linked to altitude then favor the balance between aroma, sugar and acidity in the grapes. Tuscan wines are also made with many other international or Italian-specific grape varieties, such as Malvasia nera or Mammolo for red wine, and Trebbiano, Malvasia, Vermentino and Vernaccia for white wine.

Alongside the wines with specific appellations, an unofficial category of vintages emerged in the 1970s: the "Super Tuscans", who departed from the classification criteria to allow themselves greater freedom in the elaboration of their wines. This freedom enabled the region to diversify its product offering. Some "Super Tuscan" wines are nonetheless internationally recognized. These include some of the red wines offered by Domaine Duemani.

"One of the stars of Italian oenology, this cuvée is also magnificent and a collector's item according to Robert Parker's Wine Advocate!"

"One of the stars of Italian winemaking, this iconic wine is Merlot in name but Tuscan in spirit. Apparita is a magnificent wine that gives drinkers an enormous sense of excitement and energy. Its texture is supple and rich, but its tannins are soft and round. Substance and structure are not lacking, however, with continuous layers of dark fruit, cherry, sweet spice and tobacco. The wine's complexity is enhanced by elegant mineral tones and a subtle menthol signature. [...] This is a new collector's edition of L'Apparita. 2025-2046" (Robert Parker Wine Advocate 2023) - Delivery in wooden case for orders of 6 bottles of this wine (depending on country and shipping method selected).

Succulent and juicy with a crisp personality. You want to take a sip right away. Masseto's second wine is of the highest quality. Very easy to drink and wonderful.

"Galatrona 2021 is a rich, deep and expansive wine with remarkable depth of texture and structure. Black fruits, sage, lavender, mocha and roasted herbs are all amplified in this powerful Merlot. Readers will need to be patient, as this wine will need a number of years to reach its peak. A complex and dynamic Galatrona, the 2021 is simply superb." (Vinous 2024)

"Bibi Graetz once again proves his genius in this colorful bottle, praised by critics the world over!

" [...] As Bibi explains, "Colore brings power and freshness, while Testamatta brings transparency and freshness." The Colore shows the pure energy and vivacity of Sangiovese with notes of violet, wild cherry and orange zest. The wine has an elegantly earthy side with a very delineated palate, driven by very fine, quiet tannins. It's a gorgeous wine with a delicately sweet cherry finish. Bibi has made few changes to this wine over the years (with the exception of installing a new winery in Fiesole) in order to achieve an ideal or benchmark Sangiovese. His 2021 is his best wine to date". (The Wine Advocate 2023) - Delivery in wooden cases possible for orders of 3 bottles of this wine (depending on country and shipping method selected).

"An iconic Italian wine!"

"Very nice combination of dried fruits and spices with black cherries and plums. Aromas of flowers and sandalwood, too. Full-bodied and very refined, yet intense, with velvety, silky tannins that are wonderfully integrated and interwoven with the fruit. Ripe middle palate. Tight at the end, suggesting the need for serious bottle ageing. Very structured. Drink after 2025. (James Suckling 2022) "What I really love about Testamatta's fruit is that incredible sensation of strawberry mixed with vanilla aroma, a kind of strawberry whipped cream! It's incredibly fresh."
