{"title":"Tenuta Castelbuono","description":"The wines of Tenuta Castelbuono capture the soul of Umbria. The Ziggurat Rosso di Montefalco delights with its elegant cherry fruit and subtle spice, making it a faithful companion at the table. If you prefer something more robust, pour yourself the Lampante Riserva: a multi-layered wine that has benefited from its time in the barrel, gaining complexity. The Carapace Sagrantino completes the selection – creamy, profound, and with intense blackberry aromas. Three wines that combine meticulous craftsmanship with the Italian zest for life.","products":[{"product_id":"lampante-montefalco-rosso-riserva","title":"Lampante Montefalco Rosso DOC Riserva","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eLampante Montefalco Rosso DOC Riserva\u003c\/strong\u003e from Tenuta Castelbuono shows what Umbria can do in its best locations: depth without heaviness, structure without harshness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Tenuta Castelbuono lies in the heart of the \u003cstrong\u003eMontefalco DOC\u003c\/strong\u003e in Umbria—one of central Italy\u0026#39;s most exciting red wine regions, renowned for its local Sagrantino grape.
