Livio Sassetti Brunello di Montalcino Pertimali 2021
The hill of Montosoli, just north of Montalcino, is about as close as Tuscany gets to a grand cru, and Livio Sassetti bought a piece of it back in the late 1970s. Pertimali sits high and cool on limestone-rich soil, which is why this Brunello has a freshness and precision that a lot of Montalcino, chasing power, has lost. The Sassettis are unrepentant traditionalists: three years in big Slavonian casks, no shortcuts. Lorenzo Sassetti runs the estate now, fourth generation, and the wines have been remarkably consistent for decades. Firm and structured, but accessible enough that you don't have to wait twenty years.
