Tenuta San Guido Le Difese is an approachable yet refined Tuscan red produced by the legendary estate behind Sassicaia. Crafted primarily from Cabernet Sauvignon and Sangiovese, Le Difese combines the structure and dark fruit character of Bordeaux varietals with the freshness and vibrancy of traditional Tuscany.
Named after the wild boars (“difese”) that roam the surrounding forests near the estate, this wine is designed to offer elegance, balance, and versatility while reflecting the unmistakable quality associated with Tenuta San Guido.
