2020 Pertimali (Livio Sassetti) Brunello di Montalcino DOCG
£49.00
“Wow. So perfumed and intense with raspberries, oranges, orange peel and hints of bark and spices. Some balsamic. Medium-bodied with very fine tannins and a long, concentrated finish. Delicious now”
96 Points James SucklingÂ
“Balsamic-tinged black cherries and plums combine with minty herbs and hints of undergrowth as the 2020 Brunello di Montalcino makes itself known in the glass. It possesses a balanced inner sweetness, deep mineral aromas and silken textures that create a seductive impression. It finishes with tremendous length and potency, leaving nuances of licorice and spiced citrus. Edgy tannins resonate yet don’t get in the way of the 2020s’ giving personality.”

Product Description
For over a century, the Sassetti family has cultivated some of the best vineyards in Montalcino in terms of exposure and soil characteristics.
The Pertimali property is located in one of the most important crus in the area, the Montosoli hill, on the northern side of Montalcino, an area particularly favourable to the cultivation of Sangiovese.
Today, Lorenzo Sassetti, Livio’s son and an accomplished winemaker, runs the company together with his wife Sabina.
Over the years, Lorenzo has worked to renovate and expand the vineyards, preserving the genetic heritage of the old vines and preserving their original characteristics. In keeping with the family philosophy, Lorenzo manages the winery sustainably, favoring practices that minimize intervention in the vineyard.
Driven by a deep interest in viticulture, Lorenzo acquired two estates in some of Italy’s most renowned wine-producing regions: Maremma Toscana and Valdobbiadene.
The cornerstones of his work have always been respect for the terroir and the valorization of native grape varieties. His wines are deeply rooted in the land, traditional, and endowed with great balance and finesse.
