Tenuta Castelbuono, 30 hectares in the municipalities of Bevagna and Montefalco (Umbria), owned by the Lunelli family, who have been at the helm of Cantine Ferrari for three generations. Since 2003 they have been producing an excellent Sagrantino, followed by Montefalco Rosso in 2004. The undisputed symbol of the winery is the "Carapace", created by one of the greatest contemporary artists, Arnaldo Pomodoro, and is a unique work, the first sculpture in the world in which one lives and works. Its shape is definitely noteworthy, reminiscent of a turtle, a symbol of stability and longevity which, with its carapace, represents the union between earth and sky. The winery in fact presents itself to the eye as a large dome covered in copper, engraved externally with cracks that recall the furrows of the earth and internally with signs that are the unmistakable artistic signature of Arnaldo Pomodoro. A sculptural element in the shape of a red dart that sticks into the ground underlines the work in the landscape.
The visit to the winery will end with a wine tasting inside the suggestive Carapace.
