2018 Pertimali (Livio Sassetti) Brunello di Montalcino

$49.99
2018 Pertimali (Livio Sassetti) Brunello di Montalcino

These are the last bottles of this not to miss Brunello deal which are due to arrive very soon. In its third generation of family ownership, Livio Sassetti is considered one of the best Brunello producers in the Montosoli area of Northern Montalcino. Montosoli is one of the prized locations in which to grow Sangiovese, with many of the top wines catching big price tags. 2018 was released a few years back and is one of the best of all time here. 2018 is an outstanding vintage for Pertimali, and this year returns to that classic power and concentration, amplified by some declassified fruit that usually goes into the Riserva; since yields were down by 20% this vintage, this higher quality fruit went into the regular Brunello bottling and as Eric Guido notes, creating one of the top wines of the vintage .Fantastically structured with excellent complexity and depth, this has outstanding potential, and it will only get better with time in the cellar. This is one of the top buys for Brunello this vintage and is a remarkably impressive bottle checking off every box for what makes a great Brunello from its excellent presence of fruit, floral and herb complexity, and sense of place, intersecting between power and elegance. We have low pricing here today on this new release, and it is one of the top buys of the vintage for Normale Brunello.

James Suckling 96 pts! "Intense aromas of black cherries, lavender and spice, such as nutmeg. Some sandalwood and bark, too. Full-bodied with a solid core of fruit and tannins for the vintage. Rather chewy, suggesting that additional bottle age is needed. Try after 2026."

Vinous (Eric Guido) 95 pts! "Depths of dark, balsamic-tinged black cherry, plum sauce and autumnal spice make the 2018 Brunello di Montalcino impossible to ignore. This is velvety to the core, nearly opulent in feel, with a dense wave of ripe red fruits complemented by nuances of sweet lavender and tobacco. It leaves the palate clenched with fine tannins and primary concentration, creating a classic sensation that transcends the vintage. Nearly a minute goes by, and hints of cocoa and sweet herbs continue to resonate. Wow! Production at the Pertimali estate was down by 20% due to the spring frost, and the decision was made to place all of the juice usually intended for the Riserva into the straight Brunello, the result being one of the top wines of the vintage. (Drink between 2025 - 2033)"
