A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Sangiovese.
Tenuta San Guido Le Difese, a lively and serious wine first vintaged in 2002, is the latest arrival at Tenuta San Guido. It is an extremely pleasant, smooth, and versatile wine that welcomes with grace, the selection of grapes while it exemplifies its qualities when paired with food. Le Difese takes its name from the teeth of the wild boar, depicted in gold on the label.
The Tenuta San Guido Le Difese is distinguished by a good structure and is extremely supple making it very pleasant and drinkable.
"A juicy and delicious red with aromas of blueberries, sliced mushrooms, currants, blackberry leaves, licorice and bergamot. Medium-bodied with fine tannins and a creamy, round and fresh finish. Drink now or hold." - James Suckling, 92 points
"Rich, evoking plum and cherry flavors, with earth and tobacco notes. Reveals refined tannins, with good acidity to remain fresh and linger on the finish. Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon. Best from 2023 through 2037." - Wine Spectator, 90 points
