Tenuta San Guido Le Difese 2022

Tenuta San Guido Le Difese 2022 is a polished Tuscan red that brings together Cabernet Sauvignon and Sangiovese in a style that is both approachable and unmistakably refined. It offers the generous fruit and spice of a modern red while carrying the pedigree of one of Italy’s most legendary estates.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, Le Difese 2022 shows a vivid ruby-red color. The bouquet is fresh and fruit-driven, with aromas of red berries layered with vanilla, mocha, and a subtle mineral note. On the palate, it is smooth and full-bodied, with ripe berry sweetness, gentle spice, and a rounded, supple texture. The finish is intense and persistent, giving the wine the feel of a more serious red than its easy charm first suggests. It should drink beautifully now and will hold nicely over the next few years.

Production
Produced in Tuscany by Tenuta San Guido, Le Difese draws on the region’s warm Mediterranean climate and varied soils, which help preserve freshness while developing ripe, expressive fruit. The blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Sangiovese reflects both international structure and local character, with vinification designed to keep the wine supple, aromatic, and fruit-focused.

Food & Serving
This is a versatile food wine, ideal with grilled red meats, roast lamb, Tuscan-style pasta dishes, mature hard cheeses, and mushroom-based recipes. Serve it at around 16–18°C. Decanting is not essential, but a short aeration can help open up its aromas and soften the texture.

Producer
Tenuta San Guido is one of Tuscany’s most celebrated estates and a true benchmark in Italian wine history, best known as the home of Sassicaia. Its reputation was built on a pioneering approach to fine wine in Bolgheri, and the estate remains synonymous with quality, innovation, and elegance in Italian winemaking.
