Tenuta Castelbuono - Tenute Lunelli

Tenuta Castelbuono has been owned since 2001 by Trentino’s famous Lunelli family, owners of Ferrari wines, one of Italy’s best, and best-known, high-quality sparkling wine producers. The estate is 30 hectares large, and its vineyards, located in some of the better sites around Montefalco and Bevagna, are organically farmed. Though I’m not a fan of mega-wineries carrying the signature of superstar architects -- after all, many of the world’s greatest wines are made in small, almost dingy, cellars -- I will admit that Tenuta di Castelbuono’s new winery building, inaugurated in 2013, is amazing. Under the guidance of Arnaldo Pomodoro, a major contemporary artist, the winery building, called the carapace after the shell of a crustacean, stands out in more ways than one and is truly worth seeing. Even better, the Lunelli family’s commitment to quality is also demonstrated by the Progetto Patriarchi (“patriarch project”), in collaboration with the Istituto Agrario di San Michele all’Adige, in which the oldest and best vines of the property have been studied, selected and propagated.
