Pertimali (Livio Sassetti) Brunello di Montalcino 2012

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

JS98
Complex aromas of dried figs, dark fruits and hints of walnuts and dried meat. Full body, dense and polished palate. Velvety and poised tannins and a flavorful finish. Yet always refined and beautiful. You want to drink it now and can, but it has a beautiful future.
WE92
Bright and loaded with an earthy finesse, this offers alluring scents of wild berry, pressed violet, new leather, aromatic herb and a balsamic note. The ultrarefined palate doles out juicy red cherry, cranberry and star anise set against fresh acidity and firm, polished tannins. Drink 2019–2030.
