"The combination of power, depth and energy makes this impossible to ignore." - Eric Guido, Vinous
As one of Montalcino's reference-point estates, Livio Sassetti's Pertimali holds a special place in the hearts of collectors. In the banner vintage of 2019, the estate's Montosoli terroir shines with special brilliance and the Brunello is high on everyone's list. The wine is always known for its precision and finesse, and this rendition is no exception, as Sassetti's various Montosli parcels all produced exceptionally high quality fruit.
"The 2019 leaves the senses reeling with youthful tension yet maintains fantastic energy," notes Eric Guido. James Suckling likewise describes it as "complex, yet well rounded and balanced" in his 95-point review, and with the vintage's ideal combination of phenolic depth, intensity, and structural poise, you can safely assume this 2019 stunner is set to cruise in the cellar, offering the trifecta of what we all love in great Brunello – pure Sangiovese class, transparent terroir character, and overperforming value, especially for a wine with such outstanding cellar potential.
