Sassetti Livio Pertimali, Brunello Di Montalcino DOCG, Tuscany, Italy, 2020

Overview of the Wine
The persuasive charm and attentive embrace of the Sassetti family lures one to the vineyards, cellar and people who have farmed some of Montalcino’s finest vineyards for over a century. Four generations of the Sassetti family have made wine in Montalcino. Livio worked the historic property through the late 1970s, then purchased the 16 hectare vineyard of the now–famous Podere Pertimali. The Podere is in the Montosoli area, north of Montalcino, a particularly well-known area for the cultivation of the Sangiovese grape. Faithful to the teachings of the family, Livio and Lorenzo have over time renewed and expanded the vineyards, preserving the genetic heritage of the old vines and preserving the primigenie characteristics.

Winemaker's Tasting Notes
Deep ruby red color with aromas of ripe red fruit and spices. Elegant and structured, with soft and pleasant tannins and a long, persistent finish. Pairs well with Fiorentina steak of Chianina beef or wild boar rack in white sauce.

95 Points - James Suckling
Plenty of bark, earth, spice and dark-cherry character with a hint of toasted oak. A solid, medium-bodied palate with focused, integrated tannins and a flavorful finish. Drink in a couple of years.
