About this wine
Tenuta Buon Tempo Brunello di Montalcino DOCG
Tenuta Buon Tempo Brunello di Montalcino DOCG hails from the picturesque bucolic village of Castelnuovo dell’Abate in the Montalcino commune. With this wine, Tenuta Buon Tempo seeks to best express the terroir of this prized regions, with a complex and structured Brunello expression that melds tradition and finesse.
Made with fruit from the oldest vines on the estate (planted in 1994), the confluence of terroir and ageability is considered paramount during vinification. It is strikingly complex and elegant, balancing considerable power with finesse and potential for a life long-lived. Lusciously full-bodied and dry, with well-balanced tannins and a shot of refreshing acidity. Expect vinous aromas that mingle with ripe red cherry, florals and spice.
The fruit for this red wine is harvested by hand. Vinification occurs in stainless steel with indigenous yeasts introduced for fermentation. It is macerated for four weeks, then matured for three years in a combination of Slavonian oak casks and used French oak barrels. It is then transferred to stainless steel for a minimum of six 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.
