The 3rd wine of this iconic estate that produces Sassicaia. This is a wonderful and approachable introduction to the 'Supertuscan' wines. 70% Cabernet Sauvignon and 30% Sangiovese.
Le Difese is a red wine full-bodied Bordeaux-style but with a Tuscan soul: a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Sangiovese, aged in barrique for 12 months. It is soft, round, elegant and velvety, enlivened by a balanced freshness and hints of cherries, chocolate, herbs and sweet spices
"Cabernet Sauvignon and Sangiovese.
Lustrous mid crimson. Lifted red fruit and red cherry with a note of oak, which is spicy rather than vanilla-like, and hint of bell pepper. With aeration, really builds up and becomes a little more substantial. Juicy and elegant, not crazily long but fresh and appetising with fine tannins."
