2019 Sassetti Pertimali Brunello di Montalcino Riserva DOCG

This is an ultra-fine-textured red with a transparency and vivid nature that shine. Aromas of flowers, cherries and sandalwood follow through to a medium body with very fine tannins and a long and persistent finish. So classy. Try after 2027.

Sweet tobacco and licorice combine with hints of incense and mentholated blackberries as the 2019 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva emerges from the glass. This is surprisingly juicy and vibrant on the palate, with racy red and black fruit propelled by zesty acidity as a wild citrus spike embellishes the close. The 2019 leaves the senses reeling with youthful tension yet maintains fantastic energy, tapering off with staining length and sour cherry. The 2019 is already approachable yet balanced for a long and steady evolution.
