Livio Sassetti "Pertinali" Brunello di Montalcino 2019 [WC 97]

There are two ‘Pertimali’ Estates in Montalcino: one owned by Livio Sassetti, the other by his brother Angelo Sassetti. Make sure your merchant has the bottle you are looking for. 

Critic tasting note: (2019 vintage) "Extremely fragrant and assertive in its sensory profile, it displays notes of strawberries, sour cherries, sandalwood, lemon peel, orange juice and mixed spices. The solid presence in the background of juniper berries and black pepper constitute the dark and deep soul of a truly complex and layered matrix. Medium body, perfectly ripe tannins and little extract and a taut, at times harsh finish that shows all the character of Montalcino's northern profile. Very fresh, agile and dynamic! Better since 2026." - Raffaele Vecchione - WinesCritic.com. 97 points.
