Sassetti Livio Pertimali Brunello di Montalcino Riserva

The Sassetti Livio Pertimali Brunello di Montalcino Riserva is a monumental, deeply complex, and collector-worthy Italian red wine produced only in exceptional vintage years. It pours a deep, dark ruby red color with subtle garnet edges in the glass, lifting with an ethereal and multi-layered bouquet of ripe wild berries, Marasca cherry, and crushed raspberry, beautifully interwoven with sophisticated nuances of black truffles, leather, star anise, and pressed rose. On the palate, this full-bodied masterpiece is incredibly powerful, structured, and fruit-forward, coating the mouth with thick intensities of dark fruit preserves, black olive, and savory spice. Patiently aged for a generous 48 months in large Slavonian oak barrels followed by a year of bottle refinement, it expertly balances its immense fruit fiber with a racy, mouth-filling acidity and robust, polished tannins that carry into a legendary, endlessly persistent finish.

Food Pairing: Perfectly pairs with traditional, rich Tuscan dishes such as a classic thick-cut Bistecca alla Fiorentina (Chianina beef), slow-roasted rack of wild boar, braised venison stew, truffle-infused pastas, and mature cheeses like aged Pecorino Toscano.
