G. Punto Grenache IGT BIO - Duemani

In the glass, G. Punto Grenache IGT BIO from Duemani presents a dense, radiant red with ruby reflections that immediately promise tension and depth. Already at the first swirl, intense aromas rise, reminiscent of red currants, juicy cherries and ripe raspberries. Dark spicy notes of cloves are added, along with a hint of licorice and subtle nuances of pepper and Mediterranean herbs. This combination of fruit and spice appears inviting, clear and very precise.

On the palate, G. Punto Grenache IGT BIO - Duemani is dry, concentrated and yet silky. Red currant provides gripping freshness, joined by notes of sour cherry and a touch of cranberry. The cloves act like a fine veil that coats the palate, while the licorice lends an elegant, slightly bitter depth. The tannins are ripe, well-integrated and give the wine structure without seeming harsh.

The texture is juicy and concentrated, with a medium to full body. The fruit is clear and pure, carried by lively acidity that gives the wine tension. Thus, despite 14.5% ABV, the impression always remains harmonious. In the long finish, red currants, licorice and a touch of dried herbs return. The wine appears refined, precise and showcases the pure side of the Grenache Noir grape variety from Tuscany.

The aromatics are complex and yet easy to follow. With air in the glass, the wine unfolds a multi-layered spectrum that reveals new nuances with every sniff. Particularly fascinating is the interplay between cool red fruit and warm spice. The clove spice sets accents without being dominant, and together with the licorice creates a subtle, almost smoky depth. At the same time, the fruit remains juicy and enticing.

These impressions can be well captured in a structured overview:

1. Color: dense ruby red with radiant reflections and a clear core.
2. Nose: red currant, cherry, raspberry, cloves, licorice, herbs, subtle peppery spice.
3. Palate: dry, juicy, red fruit, fine spice, ripe tannins, lively acidity.
4. Structure: medium to full body, very good balance, clear line.
5. Finish: long, red-berry, spicy, with elegant licorice and herbal notes.

This structure gives rise to a red wine that appeals to both connoisseurs and curious enthusiasts. The grapes come from certified organic cultivation in Tuscany, which is reflected in the clarity of the fruit and the pure stylistic expression. G. Punto Grenache IGT BIO - Duemani demonstrates how precise and elegant Grenache Noir can be in the Mediterranean landscape of Toscana IGT.

With some air in the glass, the wine gains further depth. The fruit then appears even more velvety, the spice more complex. Notes of dried flowers, a touch of graphite and very fine roasted nuances emerge. The wine benefits from decanting, especially in the first years after bottling. This allows the full aromatic spectrum to open up and the texture to appear even smoother and rounder.

The serving temperature also plays an important role. Ideally, the wine is served slightly below classic room temperature so that the red fruit stays fresh and the alcohol does not come to the fore. The elegant structure and juicy style make this single-varietal Grenache a versatile companion for many occasions, from a relaxed evening to a refined multi-course meal.

Vinification of G. Punto Grenache IGT BIO from Duemani

The grapes for G. Punto Grenache IGT BIO - Duemani come from strictly controlled, certified organic cultivation in Tuscany. The vines grow in well-ventilated sites with poor soils that deliberately limit yield and vigor. This results in small, ripe berries with high aromatic density and natural concentration.

Work in the vineyard is carried out largely by hand. Leaf management, thinning and selective harvesting ensure that only the best fruit is used. Harvest takes place in the early morning hours in order to preserve the freshness of the berries. The grapes are rigorously sorted already in the vineyard, with a further selection on the sorting table in the cellar. Only flawless, ripe berries make it into the fermentation vessels.

Vinification follows a gentle, artisanal approach. Spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts promotes the terroir character and the individual style of the wine. Maceration takes place under temperature control to gently extract fruit, color and fine tannins. Regular, gentle pumping over or careful remontage extracts the desired components from the grape skins without drawing out harsh tannins.

After fermentation, the wine matures for several months in high-quality wooden barrels. Part of it may be aged in used barriques or tonneaux so as not to overshadow the fruit. The wood adds structure, depth and subtle spicy notes without becoming dominant. The goal is a precise, varietally pure expression of Grenache Noir with clear fruit and elegant spice.

Before bottling, the wine is gently clarified, usually by natural sedimentation and careful filtration. This preserves the wine’s character. Maturation on the fine lees adds extra substance, delicate creaminess and a subtly creamy texture. After bottling, the wine rests in the bottle for some time so that all components can come together harmoniously.

The result is a wine that clearly illustrates the potential of Grenache Noir in Toscana IGT: clear, juicy, spicy and with a modern, pure style. G. Punto Grenache IGT BIO - Duemani thus stands for an artisanal interpretation of a classic Mediterranean grape variety, implemented with a focus on origin, freshness and balance.
