Tenuta Buon Tempo is located in the far southern corner of Montalcino, called Castelnuovo
dell’Abate, an area with a unique vocation for winegrowing. The 26 hectare property is composed of vines, olive trees and woods and slopes down to the Orcia river on the border that marks the end of the appellation. In the early 1990’s, 12 hectares were chosen from the best area for planting vines. Farmed organically since the beginning of the project, the conversion was certified from 2018 after a few years of testing and seeing a consistent improvement in the quality of the fruit and the environment of soils, plants and air. These ambitious goals of proprietor Per Landin are applied with a combination of hard work in the
vineyard, investing heavily in the cellar and thanks to the collaboration of a dedicated team guided by Alberto Machetti with the help expert consultants Attilio Pagli and Stefano Bartolomei
Tenuta Buon Tempo ‘La Furba’ Toscana Sangiovese IGT 2021
14% abv
La Furba (closed in a bright orange wax label and featuring a drawing of a sly fox on the front) reveals an appearance and bouquet that can be nothing but Sangiovese. This is a smooth and silky expression with vibrant tones of ruby cherry, wild plum and rose. The finish is simple, fresh, fruity and tart, and La Furba (or the “cunning one”) shows a lot of character and a jovial, food-friendly personality.
Vinified in a cocciopesto amphora of 10hl, 10% of whole bunches and the rest crushed and destemmed. Following its alcoholic fermentation using indigenous yeasts, the wine macerates on the skins for 6 months inside the amphora. It is removed from this container in mid-March and is then left to settle and clear naturally in a stainless-steel tank. Bottling takes place during the summer following the harvest. The combination of whole bunches and an inert, porous container has given rise – in this original expression of Sangiovese – to an extraordinary purity.
