About this wine
Tenuta Buon Tempo Brunello di Montalcino Riserva DOCG
Tenuta Buon Tempo Brunello di Montalcino Riserva DOCG hails from the picturesque bucolic village of Castelnuovo dell’Abate in the Montalcino commune. This is the connoisseur's essential introduction to Tenuta Buon Tempo, or ‘Good Times Estate’. Made with fruit from the oldest vines on the estate (planted in 1994), it is produced only in outstanding years (when climate and plant quality are at their optimum). Strikingly complex and elegant, with structure that will ensure a life long-lived. Velvet-textured, lush and ethereal, it showcases just why Tenuta Buon Tempo has risen from the rootstock triumphant.
Red fruits and balsamic leap youthfully from the glass, with a full and fleshy mouthful tinged by oak.
Production follows a similar path to the label’s other Brunello, but with the addition of more new oak and extended length of each production phase to best eke out terroir expression. Vinification occurs in stainless steel with indigenous yeasts introduced for fermentation. It is macerated for six weeks, then matured in Slavonian oak casks for three years. It is then transferred to stainless steel for a minimum of 18 months before bottling.

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.
