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.
