Tenute Lunelli Castelbuono Montefalco Sagrantino Carapace Lunga Attesa 2018

Tenute Lunelli Castelbuono Montefalco Sagrantino Carapace Lunga Attesa 2018 is a striking expression of one of Umbria’s most powerful native grapes, Sagrantino. Crafted in the distinctive Carapace cellar, this wine combines intensity, structure, and elegance, offering a more refined take on a grape long celebrated for its depth and impressive ageing potential. With its deep regional identity and carefully considered winemaking, it stands out as a serious, cellar-worthy red from central Italy.

Makuprofiili
Expect a deep, saturated ruby-garnet colour that hints at the wine’s concentration and ambition. The nose is typically rich and layered, with dark cherry, blackberry, plum, and violet notes supported by spice, cocoa, dried herbs, and a subtle earthy complexity. On the palate, Sagrantino delivers impressive tannic grip, full body, and bold fruit framed by savoury accents and a long, persistent finish. The 2018 vintage should show both power and poise, with the structure to age gracefully over many years, gradually unfolding more tertiary aromas of leather, tobacco, and dried fruit.

Viininvalmistus
Produced in Umbria, where Montefalco’s hills and varied soils give Sagrantino its distinctive character, this wine draws on a terroir known for warm days, cooler nights, and excellent ripening conditions. The grapes are typically harvested by hand at optimal maturity, then vinified with careful extraction to preserve the grape’s natural concentration and aromatic complexity. Aging in oak helps soften the famously firm tannins while adding polish and depth to the final blend.

Ruoka & tarjoilu
This is a wine that loves rich, flavourful food: think roast lamb, braised beef, game, wild boar ragù, or aged hard cheeses. It also works beautifully with hearty Umbrian dishes and slow-cooked Mediterranean cuisine. Serve at around 18°C, and decant for at least one to two hours to allow the wine to open and show its full aromatic range and structure.
