About this wine
Tenuta Buon Tempo Toscana Sangiovese BIO La Furba IGT
Tenuta Buon Tempo Toscana Sangiovese BIO La Furba IGT hails from the picturesque bucolic village of Castelnuovo dell’Abate in the Montalcino commune. This is a joyously experimental cuvée by the Montalcino estate, named for the fox who stole the team’s Thanksgiving turkey! Appropriately enshrined on the delightful label, this is a fruit-forward, cheerfully perfumed sangiovese redolent with character. It is considered the most pure expression in the Tenuta Buon Tempo portfolio.
Intense and unique on the palate, sweetness meets with spice and pepper on the nose. Expect a dry, well-balanced palate with light tannins and a zing of refreshing acidity.
The fruit for this red wine is harvested by hand. It is vinified in a cocciopesto amphora with 10% whole bunch fruit. Indigenous yeasts are employed for fermentation, and the wine is left to macerate on skins for six months in amphora. It is then transferred to stainless steel and bottled.

In 2012, Swedish oenophile Per Landin and his partner Janet Lansill decided it was time to take their respect for Italian red to the next level. With existing holdings in Bordeaux, the pair acquired the lands that would become Tenuta Buon Tempo (‘Good Times Estate’). Here were 26 hectares of abandoned land that needed patience and providence. Nurture the land, they believed, and it will nurture you in return. This was no get-rich-quick scheme, but a passion project steeped in constant experimentation, eking out the best way to work with the blessed Montalcino terroir.
Tenuta Buon Tempo is set amongst the preternaturally green hills of southernmost Montalcino, bordered by the Orcia River. It holds a total of 28 hectares, of which 14 are vineyards. Production is entirely devoted to Sangiovese Grosso. Of the 14 hectares, just five are devoted to the production of Brunello and Brunello Riserva. The remainder grow fruit for the Estate’s Rosso di Montalcino and any special bottlings.
When Tenuta Buon Tempo was first established, 26 hectares of holdings had gone to seed. Since then, the team’s philosophy has been to rejuvenate and nourish the land for wines that best express Montalcino’s virtues.
By 2030, Tenuta Buon Tempo aims to achieve sustainability, measured as the confluence of minimal environmental impact, social solidarity, and economic efficiency in wine production and distribution. Good times are surely ahead.
