LIVIO SASSETTI
2013 PERTIMALI
BRUNELLO DI MONTALCINO
If you could only drink only one Brunello di Montalcino, what would it be? Robert Parker wrote “it would have to be Pertimali.” The only problem is they’re a microscopic Italian producer owning only 7 hectares (about 17 acres), and they’re highly-desired… That desire turns into more of a frenzy when Pertimali scores 98 Points like it has this vintage, and we don’t expect our allocation to last. Seldom do I taste a wine that’s so incredibly enthralling that it makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up… This one did and Antonio Galloni wrote that Livio Sassetti is “One of Italy’s finest,” and they’ve been making hits since 1982… With the near perfect score this vintage, my only guarantee is that once you taste it, you will wish you bought more…
Absolutely hands-on in every way possible, each individual wine is hand-tended by Livio and his two sons. With attention to every detail, their Brunello has become a Sommelier favorite, gracing the Grand Award winning wine lists of Emeril Lagasse, Thomas Keller and many others as well… Because of the minuscule production, there’s simply never enough of this wine to satisfy demand. I strongly recommend securing your case, before this one runs out…

From James Suckling: “This is intense and complex yet subtle with fantastic aromas of rose petal, plum, clove and fresh mushroom. Hints of stems. Full body, focused and polished with a linear line of tannins and fabulous length. A beauty. Better after 2021 but already a joy to taste.” 98 Points
