The Brunello di Montalcino di Sassetti Livio Pertimali is obtained from 100% Sangiovese Grosso grapes grown on calcareous-clayey soils, in the prestigious territory of Montalcino (SI). After manual harvesting, the grapes underwent a light pressing to initiate vinification. Alcoholic fermentation took place in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 28-29°C with maceration of the must in contact with the skins for 10-15 days. The aging occurred in 33-hectoliter Slavonian oak barrels for 36 months and for an additional 6 months in the bottle.
