1,600 cases, depending on the vintage. Defined, linear, and strikingly precise — dark cherry, rusty iron, balsamic, dark fruit, violets, and cedar, with a textural impactThe 2021 Tenuta Buon Tempo Brunello is organically farmed 100% Sangiovese from five hectares — vines planted 1994–1996, spontaneous fermentation in non-temperature-controlled wooden vats with indigenous yeasts, 36 months in Austrian oak, gravity flow into concrete for blending, 6 months in bottle.
The 2021 vintage was dramatic — a severe April frost cut yields by 50% — and the surviving fruit is exactly what a great vintage produces when nature forces discipline: strikingly defined, fresh, and built to last. Parker scored it 96 points. Filippo's mother painted the watercolor label; the underground roots depicted are his metaphor for what Brunello takes to reveal itself — years rather than months, and patience rather than anticipation. Cellar to 2030 minimum.
