Description
What kind of wine is it
Suisassi by Duemani is a red Syrah from biodynamic agriculture that faithfully expresses the character of the Tuscan Coast. Made exclusively from Syrah grapes, it displays a bright ruby colour and intense aromas of black fruits, eucalyptus, cloves and sweet pepper. On the palate, it is enveloping and savoury, supported by extremely fine tannins. The sip reveals great structure and unfolds into long and persistent balsamic nuances, offering a vibrant varietal expression.
Where does it come from
This Syrah originates at around two hundred and twenty metres above sea level on the Tuscan Coast, between Riparbella and Castellina Marittima. The vines are cultivated using the goblet training system, with very low yields to ensure a high aromatic concentration. The soils are characterised by salinity, the presence of clay and limestone rocks, fundamental elements for imparting a pronounced minerality. The influence of the coastal climate defines a profound style, preserving the precision of the aromas and the elegance of the phenolic texture.
How is it produced
Following a meticulous manual harvest, the bunches are destemmed and carefully selected. Spontaneous fermentation takes place thanks to the action of indigenous yeasts, accompanied by manual punch-downs and a skin maceration lasting twenty-five days. Ageing continues for twenty-two months in French oak barrels, mostly new, encouraging a slow structural evolution. In this way, the wine retains its original integrity, without any fining or filtration.
History and Curiosities
Founded in 2000 by Elena Celli and Luca D’Attoma on the Tuscan coast, the Duemani estate practises authentic biodynamic agriculture. In this exceptional setting, the Suisassi Syrah 2021 is born, an acclaimed excellence awarded 97 points by James Suckling, 96 by Robert Parker, and recognised by the most prestigious national guides. A masterpiece of rare elegance that encapsulates the essence of the region in a distinguished glass, offering an unforgettable tasting experience.
