Tenuta San Guido Le Difese 2020

Tenuta San Guido is one of the most famous Italian wineries in the world. It is famous for producing one of the most iconic wines of the World Sassicaia. Located in Bolgheri home to the greatest Super Tuscans in the world. It started with the Marchese Mario Incisa della Rocchetta’s ambition to plant Bordeaux varieties in Tuscany in the 1940s. He loved first growth Bordeaux like Chateau Lafite Rothschild and Chateau Latour. After analyzing the first growth vineyards he believed he could make first growth quality in Bolgheri. He was correct. The fist bottling of Sassicaia was in 1968. The wine was included in the top ten best wines of the last century and the rest is history. The wine sells for around $300 a bottle and is one of the true icons of wine. With the success of Sassicaia, Tenuta San Guido introduced two new wines, Guidalberto in 2000 and Le Difese in 2022. These wines are made from all estate all estate fruit with the same winemaking skill,  vineyard management as Sassicaia and were made to allow more people to experience the greatness of Sassicaia and Tenuta San Guido.

I have been able to secure a great price on the superb Tenuta San Guido Le Difese 2020. The wine normally sells for $50 to $60 a bttl and we have it down to $34.99. A truly great price for this wine. This is a great opportunity to experience what the great Sassicaia is all about with a 42% Savings. The wine is 70% Cabernet and the balance Sangiovese. The wine tastes like great Bordeaux or Napa with a Tuscan flare. The wine is absolutely delicious, is drinking superbly and at the price a great case buy! I have been doing this for 30 plus years and this is a strong buy.
