2019 Bertinga - Toscana IGT Sassi Chiusi (750ml)

Bertinga is one of the most thrilling new arrivals in Tuscan fine wine — a boutique estate in the Gaiole in Chianti subzone whose wines have taken the collecting world by storm since their first releases, earning rapturous critical praise and immediate cult status for their combination of extraordinary terroir, microscopic production, and an uncompromising commitment to pure, single-vineyard Sangiovese of the highest caliber. Sassi Chiusi — meaning "closed stones," a reference to the ancient dry-stone walls that define this exceptional vineyard — is the estate's flagship wine, a pure Sangiovese of breathtaking concentration and elegance grown on steep, rocky, alberese-rich soils at altitude in the heart of Gaiole. The 2019 vintage is a wine of remarkable depth, finesse, and aging potential — dark cherry, iron, dried violet, and wild herb on the nose, with a structured, mineral-driven palate of exceptional length and a finish that lingers with quiet, authoritative beauty.
