Tenuta San Guido, renowned for creating some of the most prestigious Italian wines, such as Sassicaia, offers with "Le Difese" a tasting experience that reflects the winemaking mastery of the estate in a format ideal for sharing.
"Le Difese" is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Sangiovese, two vines that express the perfect synergy between the structure and international elegance of the former and the typically Italian liveliness and acidity of the latter. This combination leads to a dynamic and pleasantly complex wine, which further benefits from aging in oak barrels to acquire balance and harmony.
Visually, the wine presents an intense ruby red color, which preludes a rich and inviting olfactory bouquet. On the nose, "Le Difese" exhibits notes of ripe red fruits, such as cherries and blackberries, accents of sweet spices and a light balsamic note, which together create a fascinating and complex aromatic profile.
In the mouth, the presence of Cabernet Sauvignon gives "Le Difese" a solid structure and well-integrated tannins, while Sangiovese brings freshness and a pleasant acidity that balances the wine. The result is a harmonious and enveloping palate, with a return of the fruity and spicy notes perceived on the nose, which leads to a long and persistent finish.
The Magnum format of "Le Difese" not only guarantees a better evolution of the wine over time but is also perfect for special occasions, allowing you to fully appreciate the quality and conviviality that this wine can offer. It pairs beautifully with meat-rich dishes, grilled preparations, medium-aged cheeses and Mediterranean dishes, making it a versatile companion for a wide range of culinary experiences.
In conclusion, "Le Difese" in Magnum format by Tenuta San Guido represents an opportunity to explore the richness of the Tuscan wine heritage through a wine that, despite being accessible, does not give up the complexity and elegance that characterize the production of this historic estate.
