The Sassetti Livio Pertimali 2018 Brunello di Montalcino reveals medium-dark concentration and a blackish garnet hue. The wine is saturated and rich, carrying heavy fruit weight that takes away from the more delicate and nuanced flavors of Sangiovese. Instead, this wine delivers cured tobacco, exotic spice, tilled earth and baked blackberry. The wine feels a little too cooked on the close. This is a 50,000-bottle production.
