Tenuta San Guido Le Difese 2024

Le Difese is Tenuta San Guido’s most approachable red, bringing the estate’s signature polish to a fresh, food-friendly blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Sangiovese. Made for earlier enjoyment than the winery’s celebrated Sassicaia, it offers an inviting way to discover the character of Bolgheri.

Tasting Notes
Expect a ruby-red colour and an open, expressive aroma of dark berries, cherry and plum, with hints of herbs, spice and subtle oak. The palate is smooth and balanced, combining ripe fruit and supple tannins with a lively, refreshing finish. Le Difese is crafted for enjoyment while young, when its fruit and easy-going character are at their most expressive. It should also hold well for a few years in good cellaring conditions.

Production
Made in Tuscany from Cabernet Sauvignon and Sangiovese, Le Difese reflects the Bolgheri area’s distinctive coastal setting. The available information does not specify the 2024 harvest methods or vinification and ageing details.

Food & Serving
Its freshness and smooth tannins make it a natural match for grilled meats, roast chicken, tomato-based pasta and mature cheeses. Serve at around 16–18°C; a brief decant of 20–30 minutes can help open the wine, though it can also be enjoyed straight from the bottle.

Producer
Tenuta San Guido is one of Tuscany’s most influential estates and the producer of Sassicaia, the landmark wine that helped establish Bolgheri’s international reputation. Le Difese offers a more relaxed expression of the estate’s style, pairing its careful approach with an accessible, versatile character.
