2021 Tenuta Buon Tempo Brunello di Montalcino

The 2021 Tenuta Buon Tempo Brunello is organically farmed 100% Sangiovese from five hectares. 1,600 cases, depending on the vintage. Defined, linear, and precise — dark cherry, violets, and cedar.

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. Filippo's mother painted the watercolor label! Cellar to 2030 minimum.
