Featured Winery: Angelo Sassetti

While the name Sassetti and Pertimali are both esteemed names and known to Italian wine lovers, that is mostly do to Livio Sassetti. Little is known about his brother Angelo who owns half of the Pertimali Estates. Below you will see video footage of his sensational CRU vineyards, meet his family (no one speaks English!)  Angelo and his family have owned, work and live on this estate. The Sassetti family has worked these lands for many, many generations


In Tuscany, on the northern flank of the hilltop town of Montalcino, lies the Pertimali estate. The terrain is Eocenic origin with marl and clay alternating with limestone, situated on slopes with sufficient inclination for water to drain off rapidly and well. Angelo Sassetti began producing wine over 30 years ago in a small winery built into the farmhouse, From his acres of hand manicured vineyards and rigorous control over crop level, Angelo’s small lot and unfiltered winemaking. The most important factor in the excellence achieved by Angelo Sassetti with his Rosso & Brunello di Montalcino is his total dedication to every stage of his wines from his hand care of his vineyards, to his total involvement in each of the procedures in his cellars. That is why his vineyards think of him as Angelo “the angel” Sassetti.



Very, very small production (hundreds, not 1000's of cases) of this
rare gem are made. This Brunello is all Pre-Sold and is available only at the best
restaurants and select retailers in the USA

The tractor in this video is not one of many. It is the only tractor the Angelo Sassetti has. They use for Grape, Olive and other agriculture use. The barrel room, fermentation tanks room is not one of many or part of one big room. It is the only barrels and tanks you see. 


ME Fine Wines is proud to represent this gem in Las Vegas
