The Montefalco Sagrantino DOCG Bio 'Carapace' from Tenute Lunelli expresses the firm character of the Sagrantino variety in an organic expression. Deep in color, it shows aromas recalling ripe dark fruit, hints of sweet spices and earthy notes; on the palate it is full and structured, supported by pronounced tannins and acidity that provides balance. It is a wine that requires attention when tasting: its substance invites pairing with savory dishes and a considered choice of serving temperature.

The Tenute Lunelli label reflects a careful organic viticultural approach without forcing technical interpretations; the DOCG designation certifies the territorial and qualitative reference. We recommend it with roasted meats, aged cheeses or mushroom-based dishes, allowing the glass time to open up. For those seeking a Sagrantino faithful to its character, it offers body and structure to accompany substantial meals, always mindful of the wine's natural characteristics.
