Vinous

Reviewed November 2025

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. (EG)

Review Date: 12/2024

Until now, the Sassetti family has only produced a Riserva bottling in years rated five stars by the consorzio. As this evaluation system has been discontinued from the 2000 vintage, the future direction of Pertimali’s Riserva is yet unknown. A heady mix of spice, leather, roasted coffee and grilled herbs rises from the glass. These savoury elements bleed into the wild red berry core, making for a multifaceted mouthful. The tannins are upfront without being aggressive, intricately textured and lend a chewy bite. Racy acidity surges in equal measure, propelling a blood orange explosion for the finale. (MM)

Wine Spectator

Review Date: 06/2025

Effusive aromas and flavors of mint and eucalyptus join forces with black cherry, black currant, violet, iron and tobacco. There are ample tannins, and overall this red is broad and rangy yet comes together nicely on the lingering, expansive aftertaste. Distinctive and commanding. Best from 2028 through 2045. 600 cases made, 280 cases imported. (BS)

Notes

Pertimali’s Riserva comes from the Sassetti family’s vineyards on Montosoli in Montalcino. It is made entirely from Sangiovese grown on limestone and clay soils, with the estate’s Riserva program built around aging in large Slavonian oak casks. Vinous describes the 2019 through tobacco, licorice and blackberry, with vivid acidity giving the palate pace. Red and black fruit lead into a citrus accent and a lingering sour cherry impression. The review emphasizes both its youthful tension and its sense of balance.
