The 2022 Buon Tempo La Furba Toscana was a Merchant's Pick
The Art of Pure Sangiovese!
May 14, 2026
They call it La Furba, “The Sly One.” The name comes from a fox that reportedly stole the family’s Thanksgiving turkey the night before the celebration, right under everyone’s nose. Tenuta Buon Tempo honored the mischievous intruder by creating a wine in its image: vibrant, clever, and impossible to ignore.
In a land of 1,000 Brunellos, La Furba is the sly one. More Rosso di Montalcino in spirit than traditional Brunello, it bypasses the heavy oak and rigid conventions to bring you Sangiovese in its most honest, unadorned form — bright, savory, and alive with pure Tuscan character.
Made from 100% Sangiovese, La Furba is bright and savory, with notes of wild cherry, herbs, spice, and fresh earth. It captures the pure, energetic expression of the grape. Mixed berries accentuate the enduring, fresh cherry notes with undertones of earth, spice, orange pith, and coffee. Textured tannins and balanced acidity frame this wonderful Brunello alternative.

Serve it lightly chilled alongside grilled sausages, tomato salads, wood-fired pizza, or anything coming off the grill on a summer evening.
If you are looking for a conversation piece that deviates from the status quo, this is the bottle to savor.
Grab your case before the fox does.
Cheers!
