TENUTA SAN GUIDO LE DIFESE 2022

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 2002. 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 2022. The wine normally sells for $50 to $60 a bttl and we have it down to $33.99. 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.

The 2022 Le Difese is plump, juicy and expressive, all of which make it a fine choice for drinking now and over the next handful of years. Crushed flowers, succulent red cherry fruit, mint, spice and blood orange all race across the palate. This exuberant yet mid-weight coastal Tuscan red is a total pleasure bomb. The 2022 is an especially fine edition.
Tenuta San Guido Le Difese 2022 is a refined Italian red wine that boasts a beautiful structure and an elegant flavor profile. Crafted with a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Sangiovese grapes, this wine offers a smooth and velvety mouthfeel that makes it an ideal choice for any occasion.
