Storia
La famiglia Lunelli ha acquistato la Tenuta Castelbuono nel 2001, 30 ettari vitati nei comuni di Bevagna e Montefalco. Convertiti i vigneti al biologico, con nuovi impianti e valorizzando quelli esistenti, mettono in commercio nel 2003 il Montefalco Sagrantino e nel 2004 il Montefalco Rosso. Tenuta Calstelbuono è certificata come biologica dal 2014.
Nel giugno 2012 è stata inaugurata e aperta al pubblico, per visite e degustazioni, la cantina “Carapace”. Arnaldo Pomodoro, uno dei grandi artisti contemporanei, progettò la scultura e decise di chiamare la sua cantina “Carapace”.
