WINE DESCRIPTION

Tenuta San Guido Le Difese is a red wine produced by the renowned Italian winery, Tenuta San Guido. The wine is made in the Bolgheri appellation, which is known for its exceptional terroir and ideal growing conditions for Bordeaux grape varieties. The vineyards are located near the Tyrrhenian Sea, which provides a unique microclimate that allows the grapes to ripen slowly and develop complex flavors. The winemaking process involves a careful selection of grapes, followed by fermentation and aging in oak barrels. The resulting wine is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Sangiovese, with a rich and full-bodied style that showcases the unique characteristics of the Bolgheri terroir.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This well-rounded Tuscan blend is a superb representation of Tenuta San Guido's quality and attention to detail.On the nose, it offers bold aromas of ripe dark fruit, complemented by sweet spice and a hint of tobacco. On the palate, it is full-bodied and velvety, with a pleasing balance of ripe red berry, tobacco leaf, and herbal notes, all of which linger on the finish. The Tenuta San Guido Le Difese is a truly delightful wine that will pair well with a variety of dishes.
