A master of Tuscan Syrah, Luca d’Attoma established Duemani on untouched land, driven by a visionary approach to the grape and its potential. For over two decades, he has crafted stunning wines, complementing the Rhône Valley varietal palette with Cabernet Franc, treated with the same dedication to depth and finesse.

Biodynamic farming plays a central role in these exceptional creations, grounding them in sustainability and a long-term vision. His single-varietal wines are true treasures, earning the admiration of Olivier Poussier, our Best Sommelier in the World.
