FINAL WIA before the TOP SECRET Clearance event beginning at midnight PST!

This is a no-brainer Brunello of the Year winner, and once again BEST PRICE in the US, look no further…

Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate makes it clear, it’s “a champion effort and is immediately recognized for the sheer quality of fruit at hand… a standard by which I judged the other wines of the region. I highly recommend this beautiful Brunello.”

Livio Sassetti sits high on Agent Noir’s shortlist of the best of the very best of Brunello producers.

Year in, year out, Pertimali takes its place amongst the most traditional and magically hypnotizing reds of this heralded appellation, often considered a peer of legends like Biondi-Santi or Soldera.

In a mythical vintage such as 2015, mother nature elevated it even higher.

As in 98 points high.

As in over 40% off too, mind you, a true collectible showstopper for a mere $55 just for today.

A vivid ruby core fading to a brilliant garnet rim. Aah, that nose. Close your eyes and it just TAKES you there to the heart of centuries-old Tuscany. Macerated cherries, a Renaissance library, Cuban cigars, dried porcinis, and blooming violets, are all there. And more. Deceptively silky at the first sip with iron-clad tannins gripping the middle showcasing the perfect marriage of fruit and earth. Oolong tea, wild berries, hibiscus, and orange peel wrap it up into a crescendo that echoes for minutes.

Cellar ready for the long haul or feast ready for a pasta al Ragù di Cinghiale with hours of decanting ahead recommended.

All that, did we say at the best price not just in the US, but the entire world?!

Antonio Galloni’s Vinous published this recap just a few months ago, “For over a century, the Sassetti family has produced one of the region’s most traditional wines in the Northeast of Montalcino. It’s on the Montosoli hill that they tend their Sangiovese vines, employing both organic and biodynamic practices to assure that each harvest captures the signature of the vineyard and the vintage. This passion-driven approach continues in the winery, where respect for tradition is coupled with a hands-off mentality. The grapes are allowed to ferment spontaneously before being moved by gravity, during specific phases of the moon, into large oak botti for a long slumber. What emerges from this cellar is a traditionally styled Brunello with an attractive rustic edginess, which speaks of the vintage first, and then the unique galestro soils and hillside exposures of Montosoli.”

Is there much else left to say? Oh, yes, it definitely won’t last till TOP SECRET clearance sale tomorrow!

98 Points – James Suckling

“There’s something ethereal in the nose with flowers, cherries, strawberries and shitake mushrooms. Full body. This grows on the palate with super tannin and fruit structure. So much berry flavor and round, caressing tannins that fill your mouth. Tight at the end. This needs four to five years to show its true greatness. Try after 2023.”
