Description
History
Tenuta Buon Tempo was acquired some time ago by a new property represented by Per Landin, a Swede of origin and already a wine producer in Bordeaux; the latter is committed to constantly improving the quality of the wines obtained and converting agriculture to organic farming, an objective officially achieved in 2018. The company is located in the extreme south of the DOCG Brunello di Montalcino, where the territorial characteristics they allow us to obtain wines of great structure and virility; the guide is entrusted to Alberto Machetti with the collaboration of Attilio Pagli and Stefano Bartolomei, oenologist and agronomist respectively.
Grapes used

Production method
The harvest usually takes place from 15 to 20 September. The vinification takes place in steel with a long maceration on the skins of four weeks and subsequent 3 years in large 20 and 35 hl Slavonian oak barrels for most of the wine and another small part in 500 l tonneaux. Afterwards the wine is cold decanted and bottled; it rests for another 6 months before being placed on the market.

Tasting notes
The wine has an intense garnet red color with ruby reflections. On the nose notes of cherry jam, black cherry, raspberry jam, dried violet flowers, black pepper, cloves and tobacco, bitter chocolate and liquorice, on a background of minerality. In the mouth, powerful, soft, enveloping and broad, with a good general structure and closed by an elegant acidity and flavor. The finish is long and recalls notes of red fruit and vanilla.
Possible combinations
Tenuta Buon Tempo Brunello di Montalcino is perfect for pairing with red meat, whether it is a barbecue or a more elaborate and long-cooked dish. Perfect with crusted pork, roasts, guinea fowl, braised meat and stews, but it also pairs perfectly with mature and tasty cheeses. If left to rest for a few years in the cellar it transforms into an extraordinary meditation wine.
