2001 Pertimali (Livio Sassetti) Brunello di Montalcino

The small Pertimali estate has been held by the Sassetti family for over a century; here, they carefully tend a hillside in the prime Montosoli cru that has a unique reputation for balancing the power of the southern part of the Montalcino zone with the finesse of the north. Year after year, Livio Sassetti turns out consistently rich, deep Brunellos with the silky texture of Burgundy. Look also for the estate's Sangiovese/Cabernet Supertuscan Vigna Fili di Seta.
