The Lunelli family has a rich history in winemaking, renowned for their Ferrari Trentodoc sparkling wines. Their journey began with Bruno Lunelli and has flourished over three generations. In the 1980s, the family expanded their passion for wine by creating still wines in Trentino. Their fascination with Umbria's enchanting landscape and the esteemed Sagrantino grape led them to acquire the 30-hectare Tenuta Castelbuono estate in 2001. The family prides itself on being “artisans of time,” patiently nurturing their grapes and allowing their wines to mature gracefully in the cellar. The phases of the moon symbolize their commitment to quality and tradition.
Since its purchase, Tenuta Castelbuono has undergone a complete organic transformation. The estate's vineyards have been revitalized through careful clonal selection and the planting of new vines. A striking new winery, designed by contemporary artist Arnaldo Pomodoro, has become a centerpiece of the estate. Known as the “Carapace,” this architectural marvel blurs the lines between sculpture and functionality, featuring a stunning copper-covered dome that captivates visitors.
Tenuta Castelbuono embodies a commitment to high-quality wine production that reflects the unique terroir of Umbria. The Lunelli family has dedicated decades to cultivating wines that are elegant and age-worthy, establishing a brand recognized for its excellence. Each bottle tells a story of the land, the family, and the artistry involved in winemaking.

Write a reviewWe came for a degustation and it was fantastic! The wines served, and the paired snacks were exceptional. We ended up buying several bottles of wine to take with us. The service was very good aswell. Location and atmosphere are a highlight here. The building itself, and the surrounding views, are something out of a fairytale book. Not to be missed! Book in advance.

I was passing through the area and decided to taste some of their labels. Magnificent atmosphere and structure. The person who welcomed us was very kind and explained the project of the cellar and described the wines. I bought some bottles after the tasting but I only discovered later that on some online sites the selling prices were much lower. Overall a pleasant discovery.

Wonderful, unique, incredible place! I went there for the second time and it was just as exciting as the first! Entering a work of art is not an everyday experience, but when you find there exceptional wines and friendly and professional staff (congratulations, Laura), then you are in the right place. When I enter places like this, I thank myself for being born in Italy. Tenuta Castelbuono, certainly one of my favorite places. Thank you ❤️
