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.
"The 2022 Le Difese is plump, juicy and expressive, all of which make it a fine choice for drinking now and over the next handful of years. Crushed flowers, succulent red cherry fruit, mint, spice and blood orange all race across the palate. This exuberant yet mid-weight coastal Tuscan red is a total pleasure bomb. The 2022 is an especially fine edition. It benefits from a warm year - which can be a positive for entry-level wines - earlier bottling and selection. Le Difese is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (both estate and non-estate sites) and Sangiovese, all purchased." Vinous, 92 points
