    The label features a delicate illustration of a wild boar hunt: a pack of hounds is closing in, whilst the wild boar stands its ground. Le Difese – this is the precise Italian term for the wild boar's tusks, those sharp teeth with which it defends itself as a last resort. A fitting image for a wine that is Tenuta San Guido's most approachable – yet one that does not compromise on character. Le Difese is the estate's only wine to contain an indigenous Tuscan variety: Sangiovese from the Chianti-Rufina area, combined with Cabernet Sauvignon from the vineyards of Tenuta San Guido. Two Tuscan souls in one cuvée – the international variety and the native one. Fermentation in stainless steel, malolactic fermentation in stainless steel, followed by four months in used French and American oak barriques. Six months in bottle. Fresh, direct, approachable.

    A brilliant ruby red. The bouquet offers wild blackberry, myrtle and ground liquorice – aromatic and exceptionally clean. On the palate, it is dense and crisp, with a fruity freshness and a long, herbaceous and fruity final. The warmest welcome Bolgheri has to offer. SUPERIORE.DE

    "A sparkling, intense ruby colour with a slight violet sheen. An open and appealing nose, with aromas of blueberries, blackberries and dark cherries, and a hint of white pepper in the background. On the palate, a juicy attack, plenty of cherry, supple tannins that are well integrated, very good drinkability – best enjoyed slightly chilled!" Falstaff

    "A fresh and crisp red wine with aromas of plums, cherries, subtle chocolate and cinnamon, followed by a medium-bodied palate with fine tannins and a long finish. Lively, with a hint of orange zest. A delicious and satisfying glass of Tuscan red wine." James Suckling

    "This vintage perfectly reflects the cooler, rainier growing season of 2024, resulting in delicate aromas and wonderful freshness. Crushed red and black berries blend with chalky tannins. A balanced and juicy delight that is soft yet still somewhat restrained by its structure. Give it a few more months, and then enjoy it." Decanter
