2022 Le Difese| Brilliant Everyday Drinking from Tenuta San Guido

Renowned Super Tuscan estate Tenuta San Guido, who make the great Sassicaia, also make a brilliant everyday drinking wine called Le Difese. It was initially made just for private consumption amongst the estate's friends and family. Too good not to share, it was commercialised in the early 2000s and in that time has become just as popular as Sassicaia itself! A blend of 45% Cabernet Sauvignon and 55% Sangiovese, Le Difese delivers the Sassicaia style and terroir in an approachable, early drinking format.
