Livio Sassetti’s Pertimali Brunello stands as a benchmark for Montalcino, consistently delivering brilliance vintage after vintage. In the challenging 2017 season, Sassetti rose above, producing a wine of remarkable depth and elegance. Sourced from Montosoli, the “Grand Cru” of Montalcino, it reveals notes of black raspberry, licorice, mint, and earthy spice after a brief decant. With impeccable balance and refined tannins, this wine captures the legacy of a century-old estate at its peak.

Wine Advocate

The Sassetti Livio Pertimali 2017 Brunello di Montalcino is quite bright and lifted with cherries and fresh fruits that pop from the glass. The primary intensity is radiant in this wine, setting it apart from many of its peers. It covers the palate with mid-weight intensity, nice acidity and silky tannins. The brightness you get here is so attractive now, so I see little reason to wait much longer before pulling this cork.
