96+pts Monica Larner, Wine Advocate
The Duemani 2019 Syrah Suisassi is a dark, full-bodied wine with an almost impenetrable appearance. This vintage delivers a powerful bouquet and a richly textured mouthfeel that is interwoven with meaty dark fruit, cured tobacco, dark cola, licorice and more exotic spice. The effect is very pretty, especially the manner in which these aromas mirror each other with seamless transitions. There is a special intensity here that reflects the detailed-minded character of winemaker Luca D'Attoma. Thirty percent whole cluster is used.
96pts Antonio Galloni, Vinous (2018 Vintage)
The 2018 Suisassi (Syrah) is another exceptional wine in this range. Dark and racy, the 2018 offers up copious blue/blackish fruit, lavender, menthol and chocolate. There's real depth and density here, but not the heaviness of the past. Once again, Luca D'Attoma and Elena Celli crafted a unique and totally distinctive wine. Superb.
