Tenuta Buon Tempo Brunello di Montalcino 2016

$39.95 $75.00 - 750mL
It’s almost heartbreaking to see the 2016s wind down...it was too much fun to sell one of the great vintages for Italy EVER – we hope you loaded up as they came out! We are on the last bottles of the fantastic Buon Tempo - a wine of refinement, glorious texture and balance, and no shortage of power, too. Hailing as it does from the Castelnuovo dell’Abate side of Montalcino, with its steep slopes and warmer sun exposure. Masterfully made by winemaker Alberto Machetti with the help of expert consultants Attilio Pagli and Stefano Bartolomei, they just go from strength to strength.
Well, we couldn’t agree more — top notch ‘16 Brunello at the BEST price you’ll ever see by far! Don’t miss! Do what you must...we have just a handful of cases!
PAIRING IDEAS: Of course, you must eat pasta. Tomato sauce. Maybe you want to add meat to make it a bit more bolognese, or maybe you want to keep it lighter and fresher with something like this, but it’s a must no matter what! If you want the fully immersive experience, try our music suggestion below while you sip and eat!
MUSIC SUGGESTIONS: Italian opera, anyone? Luciano Pavarotti, Andrea Bocelli... Speaking of Bocelli, we just found this great video of him singing "Hallelujah" with his daughter... it's seriously amazing and literally changes the way this wine tastes. Try tasting the wine before the music, and then again while it is playing. It's like witchcraft!.

This has enticing notes of ripe black cherries, mushrooms and truffle oil. A beautiful, full red with lots of silky tannins, concentrated flavors and delicious layers of cherries and licorice. The fruit really covers the intense tannins nicely. Best ever from here. Drink after 2023.
Vinous
The 2016 Brunello di Montalcino from Tenuta Buon Tempo mixes wild strawberries with hints of plum, sweet herbs and flowery undergrowth. It’s soft and soothing at first, ushering in ripe red/black fruits with cooling acids and minerals, which creates a lifted and refined expression. This turns very floral and classically dry through the finale, with hints of sweet spice and licorice resonating above a coating of fine-grained tannins. The 2016 Tenuta Buon Tempo gains volume and depth the longer it sits in the glass, leading me to believe that the best is yet to come.
