Sassetti Livio Pertimali

The Sassetti family has grown vines around Montalcino for more than a century, through four generations. Pertimali, on Montosoli hill north of the town, remains its central property. Livio’s son Lorenzo, a trained winemaker and the fourth generation, runs the estate with his wife Sabina.

The family also has vineyards at Cinigiano in the Tuscan Maremma and in Valdobbiadene; La Querciolina, its Montecucco property, was acquired in 1999. Vineyard care and harvesting are done by hand, and the family favours organic farming.
