2022 Livio Sassetti "Pertimali" Rosso di Montalcino
92
Vinous
Review Date: 07/2024The 2022 Rosso di Montalcino is remarkably pretty. Rosy and floral, this impresses further with its ripe cherry-berry fruits and dusty earth tones. It's silky-smooth and ripe in style, with juicy acidity and a cascade of violet inner florals. Blood orange and spice notes linger through the incredibly fresh finale. The 2022 tapers off with staining length yet only gently tannic. (AG)

Notes
From one of the most esteemed names in Brunello, the 2022 Rosso di Montalcino from Livio Sassetti’s Pertimali estate offers a beautifully pure expression of Sangiovese from the northern hills of Montalcino. Grown in galestro-rich soils and fermented with native yeasts, this wine is aged in large Slavonian oak casks, just like the estate’s Brunello, but for a shorter period to emphasize freshness and elegance. The nose is vibrant with red cherry, blood orange, violet, and savory herbs, while the palate is medium-bodied with fine-grained tannins and lively acidity. A textbook Rosso with pedigree, balance, and lift—ideal for earlier drinking, though it has the bones to age a few years.
