Duemani
DueMani is a boutique winery owned by Elena Celli & Luca D'Attoma. Located in the tiny town of Riparbella, high along the Tuscan coastline above Bolgheri. The geography is rough and difficult with clay and large stones throughout the steep vineyards. Through their great effort and determination, they have farmed Biodynamically since the very beginning in 2001. This philosophy of respecting and caring for the land, vines, and environment are practiced by all workers and participants at Duemani and is clearly evident in the exquisite wines they produce.
The name DueMani represents two hands from two people, Elena Celli and Luca D’Attoma. Elena was born and lives in Lucca. She studied marketing at Polimoda in Florence and worked in the fashion industry for many years. Luca was born in Borgo San Lorenzo, outside of Florence. A famous winemaker, he founded a winemaking and viticultural consulting company in 1991 called Wine Evolution Consulting (W.E.C.) through which he collaborates with wineries from various regions of Italy as well as Spain and Switzerland for the production of high quality wines. Luca’s most known credit is probably consulting for the Super Tuscan powerhouse Le Macchiole for over 25 years. During his time at Le Macchiole he created two of Italy’s most famous wines the Messorio Merlot and Paleo Syrah. He also credits Tua Rita’s Redigaffi as one of his creations as well.
