2013 Brunello di Montalcino Sassetti Livio Pertimali

This is intense and complex yet subtle with fantastic aromas of rose petal, plum, clove and fresh mushroom. Hints of stems. Full body, focused and polished with a linear line of tannins and fabulous length. A beauty. Better after 2021 but already a joy to taste.

The 2013 Brunello di Montalcino is a wine of beautiful and noteworthy elegance. It shows a fine and delicate quality of fruit, with wild berry and dark cherry at the front. That fruit intensity builds slowly as the wine warms in the glass, but it always stays confined and graceful throughout. Similar elements characterize the mouthfeel that is lean, compact and silky.

Fornem og autentisk Sangiovese-næse med detaljerig, sødmefuld og afrundet kirsebærfrugt. Delikat, sprød og harmonisk duft med elegant doseret egetræ. Saftig, velkrydret, tæt og med gennemført mineralitet. Næsens kultiverede bærsødme går vellykket igen i smagen, der bæres oppe af bløde og alligevel solide tanniner, der vokser ved iltning. Harmonisk, aromatisk rigt og velpoleret helhedsindtryk. Dybt personlig og umiddelbart charmerende Brunello med flot distriktstypicitet og udsøgt præcision.

Dark red-ruby. Camphor, mint and blueberry on the nose. Then refined flavors of red berries, dried herbs and quinine that display a steely, linear quality. Very clean Brunello of early appeal that finishes long with a bittersweet touch, an air of austerity and a touch of aromatic herbs. Lovely Brunello.
