Tenuta San Guido
Le Difese Toscana Cabernet Sauvignon Sangiovese
Tuscany, Italy
A blend of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon and 30% Sangiovese. Aromas of fresh ripe fruits with notes of earthy floral. On the palate cherry and strawberry flavors with citrus and pepper spice. Developing fIne tannins with a slight grip, medium finish ending with fruit and spice. Enjoy, drinking well but needs more bottle age.

This is great quaffable italian red. Perfect pizza wine. Nice round opulent fruit without being overblown. Enough tannin and acid to hold the package together. Buy again!

San Guido’s third wine, great bang for the buck! Tight at first but opened up rather quickly. Leather nose, cherry and oak and a ting of plum and pine in the finish. Young but yum.

Musty mix, chewy and bitter. Dry, young and tannic. Love the winery but not this particular wine.
