Savoury woodland tones wrap around vivid cherry and plum in the 2020 Livio Sassetti Brunello di Montalcino Pertimali, with cool herbal accents and gentle spice giving it a lifted, almost electric feel. The palate is medium-bodied but intense, combining a subtle sweetness of fruit with saline, iron-tinged grip and finely etched tannins that carry through a long, concentrated finish of dark fruit, citrus peel and warm spice. This is a serious yet expressive Pertimali that wears the warmth of the vintage with admirable poise.
Bistecca alla Fiorentina, pappardelle al ragù di cinghiale, aged Pecorino Toscano

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.
