Lunelli estates
Tenute Lunelli are three wineries scattered between Trentino, Tuscany and Umbria. The Lunelli family has made sustainability its creed, and so all the wineries are now organically grown. One family, three estates - Tenute Lunelli. The Lunelli family has been active in viticulture for a long time, for example they also manage the Ferrari sparkling wine house in Trento or the Segnana grappa distillery. In the 80s, the desire to expand its product lines was born, and thus Tenute Lunelli were born.
Tenuta Margon in Trentin was the first, and it was here that the Lunellis made their first experience with the production of still wines. Here is also the headquarters of the Lunelli group in Villa Margon, a 350th century building. The vines chosen were: Pinot Nero, Chardonnay. The strong differences in temperature at about 600 - XNUMX m above sea level at the foot of the Alps, which characterize the terroir, give the wines a special character.
The second phase of Tenute Lunelli began when the family felt confident enough in their knowledge to also produce the typical Italian red wines. They bought 40 hectares of vineyards in Tuscany, in the municipality of Terricciola near Pisa. This was the birth of Podernovo as part of Tenute Lunelli. A modern cellar was added to the old farm and the cultivation of Sangiovese, Merlot and Cabernet began.
Not long after, in 2001, the Lunellis expanded their group in Umbria, with the Castelbuono Estate, whose vineyards are located near Bevagna and Montefalco. The estate produces only red wines from Montefalco, especially Sagrantino, famous in the region.
The Carapace, or reservoir, towering over the top of the vineyard, is extremely impressive. The cellar building was created by the artist Arnaldo Pomodoro and offers a truly unique sight with its copper-clad exterior.
Responsibility for the environment at Tenute Lunelli.
In the spirit of sustainability, the Lunellis have made efforts in recent years to certify their cellars to organic farming standards. Tenuta Podernovo started in 2012, followed by Castelbuono in 2014, and finally Tenuta Margon in 2017. Consequently, insecticides and herbicides are no longer used and only natural plant protection is used.
