It presents itself as a refined \u003cstrong\u003eblend of Sangiovese\u003c\/strong\u003e, Sagrantino, Cabernet Franc and Merlot, with an elegant and structured profile. In the glass, it reveals a bright ruby red colour that anticipates intense aromas of cherry and morello cherry. The bouquet is further enriched with \u003cstrong\u003enotes of cloves\u003c\/strong\u003e and balsamic essences. On the palate, it displays remarkable balance, being enveloping and powerful, with a freshness that ensures excellent drinkability and a solid \u003cstrong\u003eageing potential\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe grapes come from the municipality of Bevagna, in the heart of the Montefalco Rosso area. The vineyards are cultivated according to the strict principles of \u003cstrong\u003eorganic and sustainable agriculture\u003c\/strong\u003e, using the cordon-trained system. The vines sink their roots into silty-clay soils, which are compact and capable of providing excellent \u003cstrong\u003eresistance to summer drought\u003c\/strong\u003e, ensuring concentration and vigour in the bunches. The maturation phase takes place in the spaces of the \u003cstrong\u003eCarapace cellar\u003c\/strong\u003e, an iconic structure perfectly integrated into the surrounding landscape.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe process begins with manual harvesting to select the best bunches. In the cellar, a \u003cstrong\u003ecold pre-maceration\u003c\/strong\u003e is carried out for twenty hours, an ideal technique for extracting the most delicate aromatic precursors. The subsequent fermentation takes place in steel containers at a controlled temperature, accompanied by prolonged maceration on the skins. The wine's evolution continues for twelve months in \u003cstrong\u003eoak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e, an essential resting period that softens the tannic profile and imparts perfect \u003cstrong\u003earomatic precision\u003c\/strong\u003e to the final result.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Ziggurat was born from the deep passion of the Lunelli family for Umbria and Sagrantino, a bond sealed in 2001 with the founding of Tenuta Castelbuono. This red wine is kept in the renowned \u003cstrong\u003eCarapace\u003c\/strong\u003e cellar, a masterpiece by Arnaldo Pomodoro that masterfully combines architecture and viticulture. The result of meticulous \u003cstrong\u003eorganic farming\u003c\/strong\u003e carried out over 32 hectares, the grapes are selected through a rigorous \u003cstrong\u003emanual autumn harvest\u003c\/strong\u003e. Under the guidance of D’Attoma and Capaldini, the estate expresses a sustainable spirit and an elegantly contemporary identity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Tenute Lunelli - Tenuta Castelbuono","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45217230422187,"sku":"57148","price":15.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0652\/6789\/2395\/files\/tenute-lunelli-castelbuono-ziggurat-montefalco-2023_57148_1_ac3b7cd5-c5f9-44cf-af19-afb5df133747.webp?v=1773771507","url":"https:\/\/xtriwine.com\/products\/tenute-lunelli-castelbuono-ziggurat-montefalco-2023","provider":"Xtrawine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
