" With the energy and vision of a new team, paired with a forthcoming state-of-the-art cellar, I would firmly place Tenuta Buon Tempo among the most exciting estates in Montalcino today—new in spirit if not in name. I look forward to returning in a few years to see how this evolution continues to unfold." Momica Larner, The Wine Advocate, January 2026 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 CEO & Winemaker Alberto Machetti, Enologist Fillipo Bellini and with the help expert consultants Attilio Pagli and Stefano Bartolomei.

Tenuta Buon Tempo ‘La Furba’ Toscana Sangiovese IGT 2024
13.5% 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.
“The Tenuta Buon Tempo 2024 La Furba, a Sangiovese fermented with 10% whole-cluster fruit, delivers the bright cherry and redcurrant flavors one might expect, while revealing a striking metallic mineral note reminiscent of rusty nail or pencil shaving that lends added tension and food appeal. Produced in a limited run of just 1,700 bottles, La Furba is a contemporary wine with a bold personality. The label features an image that deliberately evokes folk tales of a fox stealing a hen, a playful nod to the wine’s name and character.” 2026 – 2028
92 Points, Moncia Larner, The Wine Advocate, Jan 2026
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.
