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.

Tenuta San Guido has a very ancient history. Suffice it to say that it owes its name to St. Guido della Gherardesca name that has been linked to the territory in which it stands for centuries. It is located in Tuscany, in the Maremma area between Livorno and Grosseto and a short distance from the Etruscan Coast. That same area that has always enchanted poets and artists of all kinds, and that Giosuè Carducci made famous among lovers of literature; but it is also the area where Tuscany's winemaking tradition has been carried on for centuries with passion and dedication. Since its founding, the winery has set itself the delicate goal of telling the story of the land to which it belongs by producing Tuscan wines of the highest quality, with the best grapes and the oldest knowledge. The desire to create a wine with excellent raw materials, the desire to represent Tuscany in the world and the passion for the territory can be found in every glass of the final product. The hectares available to the estate are raised different strains, including Sassiccaia and Bolgheri. Name and address of producer/distributor: Tenuta San Guido - Loc. Le Capanne, 27, 57022 Bolgheri (LI). Products from this winery should be stored in a cool, dry place away from heat sources.
