This 2018 Brunello di Montalcino from Sassetti Livio Pertimali presents an intense and complex aromatic profile. Expect notes of ripe red and dark fruits such as cherry, black cherry, and plum, evolving into more savory undertones of dried herbs, tobacco, leather, and balsamic hints. Floral notes like violet or rose may also emerge. On the palate, it is full-bodied with a powerful structure, showcasing characteristic high acidity that provides freshness and a long finish. Firm, yet well-integrated, tannins offer a drying grip, pointing to significant aging potential. The fruit flavors echo the nose, complemented by earthy minerality and a savory umami quality. The finish is long and persistent, leaving traces of spice, dried fruit, and a pleasant tannic grip.
