Tenuta Buon Tempo "Oliveto P.56" Brunello di Montalcino Riserva DOCG 2019

"A graceful and elegant style for this riserva. The nose is focused on dried flowers, restrained red cherries, incense and orange-peel aromas. The attack is supple with full body, soulful character and bracing acidity. Firm, thick, yet ripe tannins with a chalky finish and savory length. Drink or hold." -- James Suckling

"Warm, earth tones of underbrush, crushed rock, tar and spices are first on the nose before plum and black cherries come out with a hint of orange liqueur. The palate is dusty with tannins but more vibrant cherry flavor and a salty, bitter cocoa finish." -- Danielle Callegari, Wine Enthusiast

Buon Tempo embodies the result of an exciting encounter between a Swedish wine enthusiast and a fantastic terroir. This fortuitous union gives life to an estate that seeks to perpetuate the grand tradition of Montalcino wines by aiming for the highest possible quality. The Brunello, as the emblem of the estate, expresses the great potential of this region in terms of complexity, concentration and elegance. Vinified with the utmost respect for tradition, it charms with its fruity notes in youth, which then evolve with spicy undertones. 

Grapes farmed organically and harvested manually. Temperature-controlled vinification in stainless steel and fermentation with indigenous yeasts. Four weeks’ maceration. Maturation for three years in large (20 and 35 hl) Slavonian oak casks.
