Description
Le Difese is the gateway to Bolgheri’s renowned style, an inviting blend of estate Cabernet Sauvignon and Tuscan Sangiovese that balances power with approachability. Perfect for everyday enjoyment or al fresco gatherings, it marries structure and freshness in one harmonious red.
Hailing from gravelly Bolgheri slopes, the grapes are gently fermented and matured in stainless steel and neutral oak to preserve vibrancy and soften tannins. This ethical, family led bottling reflects San Guido’s commitment to terroir driven, food friendly wines.
Winemaking: Cabernet and Sangiovese sees temperature controlled fermentation, followed by brief ageing in stainless steel and older oak. No fining, minimal filtration.
Pairing Suggestions: Ideal with grilled steaks, ragù rich pasta, mushroom risotto or aged pecorino, and equally vibrant alongside vegetarian stuffed peppers.
Tasting Note: Deep ruby in hue, it offers bright cherry and cassis aromas with a whisper of green herbs. The palate is silky yet structured, finishing fresh and persistent.
