Le Difese offers a taste of the estate behind Sassicaia immediately on release. The name is a local term for the tusks of a wild boar. A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Sangiovese, the wine offers bright, crunchy red cherries and damson, with a herbal lift of fennel and tea leaves and a hint of bonfire woodsmoke.

2022 Guidalberto, Tenuta San Guido
Original price was: £5500.£4500Current price is: £4500. 18% savingAdd to BasketSassicaia’s younger brother Guidalberto consistently offers incredible value from the Tenuta San Guido stable. Nicolo Incisa della Rocchetta, Tenuta San Guido’s owner, explains how Guidalberto came into being: “first of all, [there was] the desire to see what we could accomplish with Merlot, a grape that we had never used before; second, the desire to offer the consumer a wine which could be appreciated at a younger age compared to our veteran Sassicaia”.
2022 was another stellar, sun-soaked vintage in Bolgheri where both Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon performed incredibly well. Succulent, fresh and wonderfully defined, Guidalberto is an exhilarating expression of the famous Tenuta San Guido terroir. Its juicy red and black fruits are overlaid with fragrant flowers, tobacco and graphite. There is a beautiful softness to this wine which means it can be enjoyed immediately or cellared for up to 10 years. Drink 2024-2035.
