Vintners for over a century, the Sassetti family has a storied history in Montalcino. In 1967, Livio Sassetti helped found the Consorzio del Brunello di Montalcino. Now, with son Lorenzo in charge, their 40 acres on the Montosoli hill are biodynamically farmed and the family's reach is from the Maremma to the Veneto. Their archetypical Brunello is always a critic's fave.
