“This tiny estate, which has been making spectacular wines since 1982, makes some of the finest red wines in Tuscany. I am beginning to think that if I had only one Brunello di Montalcino to drink it would have to be Pertimali. Unfortunately, quantities are microscopic, making availability a major headache.
Robert M. Parker, Jr., Wine Advocate
“For over a century, the Sassetti family has produced one of the region’s most traditional wines in the northeast of Montalcino. It’s on the Montosoli hill that they tend their Sangiovese vines, employing both organic and biodynamic practices to assure that each harvest captures the signature of the vineyard and the vintage. This passion-driven approach continues in the winery, where respect for tradition is coupled with a hands-off mentality. The grapes are allowed to ferment spontaneously before being moved by gravity, during specific phases of the moon, into large oak botti for a long slumber. What emerges from this cellar is a traditionally-styled Brunello with an attractive rustic edginess, which speaks of the vintage first, and then the unique galestro soils and hillside exposures of Montosoli .... Today's wines are brilliant examples of Montalcino and Montosoli terroir, as were the many back vintages that were pulled from the cellar during my visit.

"Deep and extremely complex, it shows notes of black plum, blackberry, salted caramel, black tea leaf, camphor, tangerine peel, chinotto, and Indian spice. Full bodied, with round tannins of a fine grain and a juicy and flowing finish that closes gracefully and dynamically. Elegant and modern, it exhibits notable workmanship ..."

"The Sassetti Pertimali 2017 Brunello di Montalcino is quite bright and lifted with cherries and fresh fruits that pop from the glass. The primary intensity is radiant in this wine, setting it apart from many of its peers. It covers the palate with mid-weight intensity, nice acidity and silky tannins. The brightness you get here is so attractive ..."
