2007 Livio Sassetti Pertimali Dieci Brunello di Montalcino
The 2007 Livio Sassetti Pertimali “Dieci” Brunello di Montalcino is a rare commemorative bottling created to celebrate an exceptional vintage and released roughly a decade after harvest, reflecting the estate’s philosophy of patience and long maturation. The Sassetti family has farmed in Montalcino for over a century across four generations, with Livio Sassetti helping found the Brunello di Montalcino consortium in 1967 and expanding the historic Pertimali vineyard on the famed Montosoli hill, a site especially prized for Sangiovese cultivation. The estate is known for preserving old-vine genetics and maintaining traditional methods, including aging wines for extended periods in large Slavonian oak casks to highlight terroir and structure. Made from 100% Sangiovese Grosso, the 2007 “Dieci” shows classic Brunello character shaped by clay-limestone soils and hillside exposure, with aromas of red fruit, spice, and balsamic tones and a palate combining firm yet refined tannins with long persistence. Critics awarded it up to 95 points, describing flavors of cherry, blackberry, leather, smoke, and cedar with a balanced, lingering finish and aging potential through about 2030.

2019 Altesino Brunello di Montalcino 375ml
The 2019 Altesino Brunello di Montalcino 2019 (375 ml) comes from one of Montalcino’s most historically innovative estates, founded in 1970 and known for pioneering modern techniques in Brunello production, including introducing the region’s first single-vineyard (“cru”) Brunello from the Montosoli vineyard in 1975. The winery is housed in the elegant 14th-century Palazzo Altesi, reflecting its blend of medieval heritage and forward-thinking winemaking philosophy. Today, the estate continues under the ownership of Elisabetta Gnudi Angelini, with a winemaking team dedicated to maintaining its reputation as a benchmark producer in Montalcino. Made from 100% Sangiovese—the only grape permitted in Brunello di Montalcino—the 2019 vintage shows classic varietal expression shaped by Tuscany’s terroir. Critics have noted aromas of ripe currants, earthy nuances, and berry fruit, supported by full-bodied tannins and structure, while another tasting describes dusty earth, dried roses, wild berries, herbs, and licorice with vibrant acidity and a long finish. Brunello must age at least two years in oak plus additional bottle time, a process that contributes to its depth and aging potential.
