From the 1980s the Lunelli family, with three generations of winemaking experience, expanded their passion by acquiring three estates in Trentino, Tuscany, and Umbria. These estates eventually became the Tenute Lunelli brand, renowned for producing elegant, long-lasting wines that highlight the distinct terroirs of each region. The Lunelli Estates view themselves as “artisans of time,” patiently allowing their grapes to ripen and their wines to mature. Their wines are crafted to be elegant, long-lived, and able to withstand the test of time.

Deep, luminous ruby red color. On the nose blackberry jam and blueberries, typical of the variety, with intense and attractive notes of cherries in brandy, carob, and rose petals. The traditionally-styled profile is further enhanced by hints of licorice and chocolate. On the palate, it offers a distinct creaminess, along with very powerful, mellow fruit.

Producer

After a century making Ferrari Trentodoc, the Lunelli family turned to still wine in the 1980s, first in the mountain vineyards of Tenuta Margon in Trentino, then at Podernovo in the Pisan hills of Tuscany and, from 2001, at Castelbuono in Montefalco, Umbria. The Umbrian estate is crowned by the Carapace, a winery sculpted by artist Arnaldo Pomodoro and completed in 2012, and its vineyards have been converted to organic farming.
