Quietly, elegantly, and almost involuntarily, the Incisa della Rocchetta family set to release the wine that would revolutionise the Italian wine scene creating a totally new genre: the Super-Tuscan. Tenuta San Guido in now a legendary estate and was first planted in 1940s by the Marchese Mario Incisa della Rocchetta, who noted the similarity between Bolgheri’s terroir and that of the Graves. The name "Sassicaia," meaning "place of many stones," reflects the gravelly soil reminiscent of the Medoc region in France.
When, in 1968, Sassicaia was finally commercially released, it took the fine wine world by storm. Cementing its iconic status, in 1994 it was granted its own appellation – Bolgheri Sassicaia DOC.
The wines of Tenuta San Guido are celebrated for their intense notes of cassis, coupled with a cedary elegance, and are renowned for their extraordinary power and length. This combination of factors has solidified Tenuta San Guido's position as a pinnacle of quality and prestige in the world of fine wine.
Le Difese is the 3rd wine from this iconic Estate. A blend of Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon, it is aged for 12 months in French and American oak barrels, previously used for Guidalberto and Sassicaia, followed by 3 months in the bottle. A delicious Italian red in its own right, it delivers elegant medium-weight red and dark berry fruit flavours, violet and herbal notes and round tannins. It is ideal for drinking now and over the next 5 years.
