Brunello di Montalcino 1999 from Livio Sassetti Pertimali is a prestigious red wine from the Montalcino zone in Tuscany, Italy. The Sassetti family is known for its traditional approach, using large Slavonian oak botti for extended ageing, resulting in structured wines of great longevity. The 1999 Tuscany vintage was highly regarded for producing balanced, powerful wines with excellent structure. This wine displays a mature, complex profile, offering concentrated aromas of dried cherry, tobacco, leather and cedar spice. The palate is dry and robust, showcasing a powerful structural intensity and high acidity that maintains its long, savoury finish.

Deep red. Ineffable, deep aromas of wild strawberry, blackberry, espresso, underbrush and sweet oak. Densely packed and sweet, with strong minerality contributing to the impression of extract. A big, mouthfilling wine that's rich and broad but also quite vibrant. Finishes impressively long and bright, with horizontal, very fine tannins. Stephen Tanzer1st September 2004

The 1999 Brunello di Montalcino is a big wine, but with the shapeliness which always characterizes this producer’s wines. The ripe and ample notes of red fruit, leather, liquorice, and game are followed by the classic smoothness and melting tannins of Sassetti wines, continuous and caressing and with a rise in the intensity and sense of solidity on the finish. Deceptively ready, it will easily last another dozen years. - Daniel Thomases
