97pts Luca Gardini

One of the most emblematic labels of the denomination, from the northwest quadrant of the appellation. Nose with notes of Marasca, hints of gillyflower and lashings of ginger, touches of bergamot. Brackish drinkability, close with citrusy and floral reminders.

95pts Vinous

The 2019 Brunello di Montalcino is a spice box of a wine, opening with a burst of camphor and dried flowers, giving way to crushed blackberries, sage and cloves. This is surprisingly energetic and racy in style. Vibrant acidity propels depths of dark red fruits and inner floral as salty minerals saturate. The 2019 finishes structured and long yet still lively, leaving violet inner florals and hints of currant to taper off slowly. The combination of power, depth and energy makes this impossible to ignore.

Winemaker Notes

Indulge in the elegance of Livio Sassetti's Brunello di Montalcino Pertimali 2019. A single-vineyard Sangiovese capturing the essence of the Pertimali vineyard, with notes of red fruit, floral notes, and a subtle minerality. A perfect pairing for roasted poultry or mushroom dishes.
