Pertimali has been owned by the Sassetti family for more than a century. The 40-acre estate is in one of the prime locations of the Montalcino appellation. Since 1999 the family has also owned vineyards in the Maremma, in southwestern Tuscany. From the Montalcino vineyards the estate makes Brunello di Montalcino and Rosso di Montalcino. From the Maremma vineyards it makes Sangiovese blends. Robert M. Parker Jr. has written that “if I only had one Brunello to drink, it would be Pertimali.”
