This is intense and complex yet subtle with fantastic aromas of rose petal, plum, clove and fresh mushroom. Hints of stems. Full body, focused and polished with a linear line of tannins and fabulous length. A beauty. Better after 2021 but already a joy to taste.

About the Producer
Four generations of the Sassetti family have made wine in the picturesque town of Montalcino. In 1967, Livio was among the founders of the Consorzio del Brunello di Montalcino, which was the same year that the DOCG system was written into law. Faithful to the teachings of his family, Livio has expanded nad renewed the vineayrds while also modernizing the winery. In 1999, they acquired a small property in Colle Argento, in the Valdobbiadene Prosecco DOCG region. Today, the estates are managed by Lorenzo Sassetti, Livios son and fourth generation family member. All of Lorenzos wines have deep roots in their respective terroirs, preserving their traditional features. The wines are aromatic and powerful that are smooth on the palatte.
