It is made from selected grapes from a single vineyard of \u003cstrong\u003eTenute Lunelli\u003c\/strong\u003e, located in the heart of Montefalco, an area historically suited to this appellation. It is a full-bodied, intense, and complex wine, capable of combining power and finesse, designed for those seeking an enveloping and profound tasting experience.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eVintage Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\nThe 2017 vintage was characterized by a warm and dry climate, which favored complete ripening of the grapes, giving the wine concentration, extract, and great structure. Yields were slightly lower than average, an element that contributed to greater aromatic intensity and extraordinarily elegant tannins. A vintage to remember for its balance and longevity.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWinemaking and Aging\u003c\/h3\u003e\nMontefalco Sagrantino 'Carapace Lunga Attesa' is a wine born from three different winemaking processes: one part ferments in stainless steel to enhance the purity of the fruit, another in truncated conical wooden vats to increase complexity, and the third in terracotta amphorae to achieve greater softness and roundness.\nAt the end of fermentation and maceration – the phase in which the must remains in contact with the skins to extract color and aromas – the three wines are carefully blended and subjected to a long aging in wood for at least three years. Further months of rest in bottle follow before release, to ensure a perfect balance between structure, aroma, and softness.\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eColor\u003c\/h3\u003e\nVisually, it presents an \u003cstrong\u003eintense ruby red color\u003c\/strong\u003e with garnet reflections, a sign of slow and harmonious evolution. Its luminosity and chromatic depth anticipate the importance of the sip.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eNose\u003c\/h3\u003e\nOn the nose, it reveals a broad and refined aromatic bouquet: ripe red fruits, such as black cherry and plum, intertwine with notes of sweet spices, cocoa, tobacco, and a balsamic touch. Hints of leather and undergrowth then emerge, typical of long-evolving wines, enhancing its complexity.\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePalate\u003c\/h3\u003e\nThe sip is \u003cstrong\u003efull, warm, and enveloping\u003c\/strong\u003e, supported by a dense yet velvety tannic texture. The important structure is balanced by a pleasant freshness and a very long finish, with a lingering taste of dark fruit and spices. It is a wine of great balance and personality, ideal for those who love meditation reds or those for a grand meal.\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat dishes to pair with Montefalco Sagrantino DOCG 'Carapace Lunga Attesa' 2017 - Tenuta Castelbuono, Tenute Lunelli (wooden box)\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMontefalco Sagrantino Carapace Lunga Attesa\u003c\/strong\u003e pairs perfectly with rich and structured dishes, capable of supporting its aromatic power and decisive tannins.\nIdeal with:\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrilled or slow-cooked red meats, such as braised dishes and stews\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGame, especially wild boar and hare\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAged cheeses and Umbrian pecorino cheeses\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDishes based on truffles or porcini mushrooms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\nIt is also a wine suitable for meditation, served alone in a large glass to favor its oxygenation and aromatic expression.\n\n\u003ch2\u003eStorage and aging: how to store Montefalco Sagrantino DOCG 'Carapace Lunga Attesa' 2017 - Tenuta Castelbuono, Tenute Lunelli (wooden box)\u003c\/h2\u003e\nTo preserve the unaltered qualities of this important wine, it should be stored in a cool, dark environment, with a constant temperature between 12 and 16°C and humidity around 70%.
