Dark, glowing fruit pours from the glass in the 2018 Livio Sassetti Brunello di Montalcino Pertimali, with black cherry, plum and a touch of cola lifted by wild herbs, cocoa and floral spice. The palate is lush yet firmly structured, packed with ripe red and black fruit and underpinned by vibrant acidity and gripping, polished tannins that clearly mark this as a Brunello built for the cellar rather than quick pleasure. Give it time and it promises to evolve from dense and intense into something far more complex and silken.
Bistecca alla Fiorentina, braised lamb shanks with rosemary, wild boar ragù over pappardelle

Brunello di Montalcino Pertimali by Livio Sassetti is a benchmark, single‑estate Brunello from the Montosoli hill in northern Montalcino, crafted from 100% Sangiovese Grosso grown on marl- and clay-based soils at about 300 meters elevation. Traditionally vinified and aged long-term in large Slavonian oak botti, it is known for uniting Montosoli’s elegant, perfumed character with depth and structure, yielding Brunellos that are both powerfully built and refined, with notable ageing potential.
