Duemani 酒莊是義大利釀酒大師 Luca d’Attoma 所開創的一個另一生涯高峰。Luca 起先在 Tuscany 地區擔任多家酒莊的釀酒顧問,在他的專業努力下這些酒莊紛紛成為世界第一流的超級巨星酒莊,包括 Tua Rita 和 Le Macchiole ,並在這兩家酒莊中分別釀出了100% Merlot ( 和 Masseto 一樣),並兩度獲得 Wine Spectator 100分最高榮譽的完美評價,能獲此殊榮者望眼全世界應該是鳳毛麟角了。這兩款酒為:
1997 Tua Rita Redigaffi Vino da Tavola ( Wine Spectator – 100分)
2004 Le Macchiole Toscana Messorio ( Wine Spectator – 100分)
(’01 RP-97, ’04 RP-96, ’06 RP98, ’07 RP96, ’08 RP97) 歐元300.
早在 1991年 Luca就作為獨立的專業釀酒顧問,包括 Le Macchiole 和 Tua Rita 這兩家知名的酒莊。隨後在 1999年成立了葡萄酒發展諮詢協會 (W.E.C.)。W.E.C.的成員包括 18家酒莊莊主與釀酒師,協會提供共同研究的專業經驗與資訊交流,相信在台灣許多義大利酒的愛好者應該都喝過 Luca 參與釀造的酒款。
Luca 在 2000年買下一處從未開墾的土地,位于 Tuscan 海邊距離 Bolgheri 不遠叫 Riparbella 的地方,是標準的地中海型的氣候,海拔 200公尺高和平坦的 Bolgheri 有些許的不同。酒莊通過有機認證的專門機構 “ Demeter “ 的嚴格審查,堅持不使用化學肥料、除草劑和除蟲劑,對葡萄園的照顧無微不至,讓土壤重生,葡萄更加健康成熟。Luca 釀造 Merlot 、Cabernet Franc、Syrah 等特別拿手,因此挑戰許多100% 單一葡萄品種的高度艱難酒款,未來將會是義大利釀造國際葡萄品種的巨星酒莊。
經過幾年的努力後,Duemani 酒莊已獲得 Robert Parker 和 Wine Spectator 高度評價,在 Luca 的高度專業努力下,再獲得第三個100分相信是值得我們期待的。
* Duemani (means Two Hands) : 意味著兩雙手即Luca夫妻同甘共苦攜手合作的經營酒莊。
Redemp1tion – that must be one of the principal themes running through Luca D’Attoma’s mind these days. One of Italy’s superstar consulting oenologists, D’Attoma helped launch many wineries that went on to become superstars. But his uncompromising ways and the strict demands on quality he placed on winery owners weren’t to everyone’s liking, so over the years D’Attoma’s client list dwindled. In the meantime, D’Attoma and his partner Elena Celli launched their own winery and started making notable wines of their own. Now after several years, many of the original clients are back and D’Attoma is at the top of his game. At Duemani, the vineyards are certified biodynamic and winemaking is stripped down to the bare essentials, with cement taking on an increasing role as a fermentation and aging vessel. This year D’Attoma and Celli have a new wine, CiFRA (100% Cabernet Franc) that is off the charts.
