The youngest and most authentic expression of Montalcino Sangiovese

The Rosso di Montalcino DOC 2024 from Tenuta Buon Tempo showcases the freshest and most immediate expression of Sangiovese Grosso, the same grape variety behind Brunello di Montalcino. It is a wine that retains the elegance of its territory while standing out for its lively character, vibrant fruit, and effortless drinkability.

Made exclusively from Sangiovese Grosso, it comes from the estate’s vineyards on the northeastern side of Montalcino, an area marked by significant day-night temperature variations that encourage intense aromas, freshness, and balance.

It is an ideal introduction to the world of Montalcino: an authentic and refined Tuscan red that is already expressive and enjoyable in its youth.

The winemaker’s notes

"Rosso di Montalcino is often described as Brunello’s younger sibling, but I believe it has a personality of its own. I like it because it brings out the most fragrant side of Sangiovese: cherry, violet, freshness, and elegant tannins. It is an extremely versatile wine at the table, capable of accompanying a wide range of dishes without ever feeling heavy."

The territory

The vineyards are located in the municipality of Montalcino, one of Tuscany’s most renowned areas for the cultivation of Sangiovese.

The soils, rich in galestro, alberese, and clay, combined with altitude and significant day-night temperature variations, encourage slow and balanced grape ripening while preserving aromatic intensity, acidity, and elegance.

These conditions give the wine a harmonious and expressive character, firmly rooted in the territory of Montalcino.
