Tasting Notes: The Tenuta San Guido Le Difese is a medium-bodied Tuscan red offering a lively and elegant profile. The nose is a complex bouquet of crushed red berries, rose petals, lavender, and a subtle, refreshing hint of sea breeze. On the palate, the wine delivers bright, juicy flavors of plum and blackcurrant balanced by fine, velvety tannins. It is characterized by its notable freshness and vibrant fruit expression, culminating in a clean and persistent finish.
Estate History: Tenuta San Guido is a legendary Italian wine estate located in the Bolgheri appellation of Tuscany, founded by Marchese Mario Incisa della Rocchetta. The Marchese had a vision to create a world-class wine inspired by the great Bordeaux Châteaux, an idea that led to the planting of Cabernet Sauvignon grapes in 1944. This pioneering spirit resulted in the creation of Sassicaia, first released commercially in the 1970s, which defied traditional Italian winemaking norms and established the "Super Tuscan" category, transforming the region's viticultural reputation forever.
