Le Difese 2016, a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Sangiovese, captures the estate’s signature finesse in a fresh, accessible style. Aromas of ripe red cherry, plum, and cassis intertwine with notes of dried herbs, cedar, and a hint of spice. The palate is medium-bodied yet vibrant, with supple tannins and well-judged acidity supporting flavors of juicy berries, tobacco leaf, and subtle earthiness. The finish is harmonious and lingering, making it an ideal choice for near-term enjoyment while reflecting Tenuta San Guido’s pedigree.

Tenuta San Guido, the legendary Bolgheri estate behind Sassicaia, pioneered the Super Tuscan movement and set a new standard for Italian fine wine. Founded by Marchese Mario Incisa della Rocchetta, the winery combines Bordeaux-inspired varietals with Tuscan terroir, creating wines of elegance, longevity, and distinct coastal character. Today, it remains one of Italy’s most revered producers, crafting wines that express both heritage and innovation.
