More Info

In northeast Montalcino, the Sassetti family has produced wine for more than a century. On the hill known as Montosoli, Pertimali’s wines are renowned for representing the perfect balance between the fruit-forward wines of southern Montalcino and the dense, structured, mineral wines of the north. In the vineyard and in the cellar, father Livio and his two sons work in observance of time-honored traditions, including hand harvesting, giant oak botte, and spontaneous fermentations, all in accordance with the phases of the moon and organic farming regulations.

Antonio Galloni's Vinous, Dec/2020

"The NV Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore Brut wafts up a pretty showing of crushed green apple, ginger and dusty florals. It’s dry and crisp yet with a vivid display of ripe melon and orchard fruits, perfectly contrasted by sharply focused acidity and a vibrant bead of fine bubbles."

"White peaches, glazed apples and white flowers with hints of honey to it. Easy and fresh with a medium body, foamy mousse and ripe stone fruit character. Floral on the finish. Drink now."

"The NV Brut Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore Colle Argento opens with a delicate blend of dusty floras, ginger and crushed apples. This contrasts finely-etched bubbles against sweet spice and lively acidity. It finishes remarkably fresh, classically dry and with medium length. Well done."

"Loads of green-apple and lemon character on the nose and the palate. Full-bodied, fruit and layered. A little denser and fruitier than some. Disgorged in 2017. Drink or hold."
