TASTING NOTES

Tenuta San Guido was born from the vision of Mario Inciso della Rocchetta, a man of Piedmontese origin, who identified the Tuscan environment as the ideal place to plant his Cabernet vines. A lover of red wines from Bordeaux’s châteaux, he decided to craft Bordeaux-style wines on his estate. Thanks to the particularly stony soils and the influence of the sea, which softens the winters and refreshes the summers with its breezes, he chose to cultivate varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, and Merlot, which have found the perfect terroir to thrive. The winemaking also follows Bordeaux practices: the wine ages for several months in small oak barrels (barriques), achieving balance, harmony, and a unique softness. Le Difese is a blend of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon and 30% Sangiovese. The alcoholic fermentation occurs spontaneously with indigenous yeasts, followed by 12 months of aging in a mix of French and some American oak barriques. It then completes its maturation in the bottle for three months. The result is a wine that, in the glass, appears with an intense ruby red color. On the nose, it expresses notes of ripe cherries and small wild berries, accompanied by hints of chocolate and aromatic herbs. On the palate, it is full and soft, with round tannins from the oak aging, balanced by a good freshness that gives the wine a lively push. Perfect for Sunday meals, it pairs beautifully with dishes based on red meats. To fully appreciate its style, Le Difese should be served at a temperature of 18-20°C. Read more Read less
THE WINERY

Tenuta San Guido

A history spanning over 300 years. Today Tenuta San Leonardo is a garden of vines and roses protected by the imposing Trentino mountains that dampen the cold northern winds, while the valley floor welcomes Lake Garda. The Tenuta is an ancient world where winery practices, still traditional and artisanal, yield authentic wines, jewels of Italian oenology, distinguished by their freshness, harmony and elegance. The Guerrieri Gonzaga family is at the helm, and it was Marquis Carlo who was the family's first true oenologist, a great lover of viticulture and oenology. He also passed on his love and passion for vines and wine to his son Anselmo, who today guides and administers the company, listening to every choice from the heart that beats for this estate, loved by the whole family. The estate covers an area of 300 hectares, at an altitude of 150 metres above sea level with 30 hectares of red grape vines. The pebbly soil ensures low fertility but good drainage, guaranteeing quality grapes rich in anthocyanins. In accordance with tradition, the old fermentation cellar contains concrete tanks where the red wines ferment spontaneously, without the aid of selected yeasts, with frequent pumping over and fulling. The barrique cellar and archive meticulously store bottles from all San Leonardo vintages and wines that continue to mature in silence and respect for their value. Name and address of producer/distributor: Tenuta San Leonardo - Località San Leonardo, 1 - 38063 - Avio (TN). Products from this winery should be stored in a cool, dry place away from heat sources.
