Tenute Lunelli Castelbuono Ziggurat Montefalco 2023

Ziggurat Rosso from Tenuta Castelbuono is an organic red that captures the quiet elegance and ancient winemaking heritage of Umbria. Built on a blend of Sangiovese, Cabernet Franc and Merlot, it offers both regional authenticity and a polished, contemporary style that makes it highly versatile at the table.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it typically shows a vibrant ruby-red colour with youthful brightness. The nose is generous and layered, with red cherry, plum and subtle herbal notes, rounded out by hints of spice and a gentle earthy nuance that reflects its Umbrian character. On the palate, it is medium-bodied and smoothly textured, balancing Sangiovese’s fresh acidity with the rounder, softer profile of Merlot and the structure of Cabernet Franc. Expect a clean, well-framed finish with good balance and enough concentration to suggest it can develop nicely over the next few years.

Production
The wine comes from Tenuta Castelbuono in Umbria, a region known for its long winemaking history and varied terroirs. As an organic-certified wine, Ziggurat Rosso reflects careful vineyard work and a restrained, quality-focused approach in the cellar, aimed at preserving freshness, varietal character and the purity of the fruit.

Food & Serving
This is an excellent match for roasted poultry, grilled lamb, tomato-based pasta dishes, mushroom risotto and aged semi-hard cheeses. Serve it at around 16–18°C; decanting is optional, though a short aeration can help open up the aromas if the wine is enjoyed shortly after opening.
