Pertimali (Livio Sassetti) Brunello di Montalcino 2003

The Winery

Livio Sassetti Pertimali

For over three generations, the Livio Sassetti family has produced world-class wines in the northeast corridor of Montalcino: Montosoli hill. They are known for producing a fine balance of dense, structured wines known in the north of Montalcino paired with fruit-forward, approachable wines of the south. In turn, Lorenzo’s passionate approach to Sangiovese has reached leaps and bounds in their flagship Brunello di Montalcino wines. If you find these wines available, don’t hesitate to buy a case. Save for drinking young, and stashing the rest in your cellar for years to come.

Tasting Notes

WA92
Pertimali’s 2003 Brunello di Montalcino is once again among the small number of wines being made in Montalcino that offers real character. This intense, powerful Brunello exhibits the essence of flowers, tar, smoke, dark cherries and wild herbs as it opens to reveal superb depth and concentration. The tannins of the vintage are present, but the wine’s sheer richness provides more than enough balance. A surprisingly fresh, long finish rounds out the wine. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2018.
