Discover the gateway to the universe of the mythical Tenuta San Guido with Le Difese , a Super Tuscan that redefines accessibility without sacrificing the aristocratic excellence of Bolgheri.

This wine, affectionately known as the 'younger brother' of the legendary Sassicaia, represents a vibrant and modern interpretation of the Tuscan terroir. Crafted with a meticulous blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (70%) and Sangiovese (30%), Le Difese captures the essence of the Etruscan coast, combining the stately structure of Bordeaux varieties with the vibrant freshness and juicy acidity of the native Italian grape. The current vintage reflects a favorable climate that allowed for optimal phenolic ripening, resulting in a complex aromatic profile where notes of forest fruits intertwine with balsamic and spicy nuances.

In the winemaking process, Tenuta San Guido applies the same rigor as in its superior cuvées. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures to preserve the integrity of the primary fruit, followed by aging for 12 months in French and American oak barrels. This measured use of wood provides a silky texture and polished tannins, making Le Difese an extremely versatile wine that is enjoyable from its youth. Unlike its older siblings, which demand long cellaring, this wine is designed to offer immediate pleasure, although it possesses the necessary structure to evolve favorably for 5-8 years. It is the preferred choice for connoisseurs seeking the signature of the Incisa della Rocchetta family in a format ideal for fine dining and everyday luxury enjoyment.

Tasting note for Le Difese Tenuta San Guido:

Appearance: Intense and brilliant ruby red. Nose: Expressive bouquet with blackberries, ripe cherries, hints of dark chocolate, Mediterranean herbs, and a mineral background. Palate: Soft and enveloping entry, medium-high body with velvety tannins, balanced acidity, and a persistent finish with notes of sweet spices.

Value Points

Bolgheri terroir with unique maritime influence; 'Third wine' of the iconic Tenuta San Guido (creators of Sassicaia); Master blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Sangiovese; 12 months aging in French and American oak.

Service Protocol

Serve between 16-18°C in a large-bowl Bordeaux-style glass. Decanting for 30 minutes before service is recommended to oxygenate and release its aromatic complexity. Ideal pairing with grilled red meats, pasta with wild boar ragu, mushroom risottos, and cured Tuscan cheeses.
