Description

Sassetti Livio Pertimali is an Italian wine producer based in Montalcino, Tuscany, particularly known for its Brunello wines. Livio Sassetti was one of the founders of the Consorzio del Brunello di Montalcino in 1967. The business has remained family owned and operated for three generations.

The Podere Pertimali has 16 hectares (40 acres) of vineyards on Montosoli hill, north of Montalcino. Sassetti makes produces three Brunellos: a generic wine and a Riserva, plus a Rosso di Montalcino. As well as the more traditional wines, there is an IGT Toscana wine, Fili di Seta, which is a Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon blend.

In 1999, the family purchased the La Querciolina property within the Montecucco DOC on the Tuscan coast. Sassetti Livio Pertimali produces a varietal of Sangiovese from that appellation, as well as a Maremma Toscana red wine named Istriciaia, a blend of Sangiovese and Ciliegiolo. In addition, Sassetti's portfolio includes a Prosecco Superiore Brut and a Prosecco Rosé.

Review

Balsamic and decidedly modern alternating notes of red flowers with hints of lime, grapefruit, white pepper, crushed chalk, gunshot powder, guaranà, cut cedar and coriander. Medium to full-bodied, very soft, rounded tannins and a juicy, harmonic finale of pleasurable luminosity. Better from 2025.
