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.

Brilliant ruby red color, elegant and complex with broad aromas of cherries and cloves, which evolve into balm-like tones. On the palate, elegant, well balanced and remarkably powerful, yet very fresh. Already extremely enjoyable, it will undoubtedly benefit from a little ageing.

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.
