"This wine marries the hallmark elegance of Cabernet Sauvignon (25%), the signature variety of the estate, with the quintessential Tuscan charm of Sangiovese (75%), sourced from the Montespertoli and Chianti Rufina regions. Named after the wild boar tusks depicted on the label, the 2024 Le Difese is bright, fragrant and fruity wine with aromas of red cherries, violets and forest floor. Juicy and crisp on the palate, with a light to medium body and chalky tannins.
Carlo Paoli, Head of Winemaking at Tenuta San Guido; “A soft and youthful wine that also includes selected lots from Sassicaia and Guidalberto. Its approachable style and delicate structure make it extremely enjoyable even in the early months of bottle ageing.”"
A very elegant and accessible wine from the cellars at Sassicaia. Le Difese is a nod towards the indigenous varieties of the Bolgheri region combining the appealing Mediterranean characteristics of Sangiovese with the depth of Cabernet Sauvignon to make a delicious wine that is ready to be enjoyed from release.
