Vineyard is in Montosoli. Fully mature and at a very high level.
Beautiful dark cherry nose with earth and a more savory element. Dark fruit, tobacco, cedar and herbs on the palate. Silky tannins. Complex, long and balanced. Abv 13.5 Really shows how wonderful aged Sangiovese can be. Judy says”I like Italian wines”. — 9 months ago
Gave this 3hr decant and it rewarded us beautifully. Brunello all the way. — 8 months ago

Smokes 75% of Brunello. This one may be the greatest Rosso di Montalcino I’ve ever tasted. Meat juices, saddle shop, hot dust, herbs, roasted fruits. Fine, soft tannins. Should be perfect for another 5-7 years. #sangiovesegrosso #pertimalisassetti — 4 years ago
Hell yes. Delicate, balanced big refreshing bubbles for summer. This Italian sparkler from the Veneto is comes from master Barolo-maker Livio Sassetti as part of his war against over-sulfured Italian bubbles. Pink pomegranate, candied tangerine peel and guava notes with a hint of plum - from the Merlot, no doubt. Elegant, zesty and flamboyant with an in-your-face creamy finish. Extra-dry spumante, like extra-dry Champagne, is in the range we call "off-dry" in absolute terms. For reference, wine that is still in the absolute dry category can have up to 9 grams of residual sugar; this wine has 12; cocacola clocks in at 110. — 6 years ago
Mid weight, lovely layers of subtle fruit and rocks. Very structured. — 4 months ago
Salvia, dusty, black cherry. Lifted, fine, persistent minerality. Estate is situated just above Pertimali, and the young proprietors work for Sassetti. Pure class, as you’d imagine in such a situation. Fantastic! #cerbaia #rossodimontalcino #sangiovesegrosso — 5 years ago
