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

WA91
The 1999 Brunello di Montalcino is a big wine, but with the shapeliness which always characterizes this producer’s wines. The ripe and ample notes of red fruit, leather, liquorice, and game are followed by the classic smoothness and melting tannins of Sassetti wines, continuous and caressing and with a rise in the intensity and sense of solidity on the finish. Deceptively ready, it will easily last another dozen years.
