Around 800 cases made, depending on the vintage. Immediate and delicate — deliberately avoiding excessive extraction — red cherry, cinnamon, almonds, licorice, scorched earth, and a whisper of forest floor, with silky tannins, crisp acidity, and a long savory finish that punches well above the Rosso designation. The 2024 Tenuta Buon Tempo Rosso di Montalcino is organically farmed 100% Sangiovese Grosso from galestro and sandstone soils in Castelnuovo dell'Abate — the southeastern corner of the Montalcino hill, increasingly well-known for skilled Sangiovese producers including neighbors Stella di Campalto and Poggio di Sotto — fermented in stainless steel with indigenous yeasts, 12 months in second-use 500L French oak tonneaux, 6 months in steel, 6 months in bottle.
