Le Difese Tenuta San Guido 2024 (750ML)

90 Points, Audrey Frick, JebDunnuck.com: "The 2024 Le Difese, composed of 70% Sangiovese sourced from Montespertoli and Radda in Chianti with the balance Cabernet Sauvignon, pours a bright ruby hue and is floral and lifted with aromas of fresh cherry, pomegranate, citrus, and sweet herbs. Lean to medium-bodied, it shows vibrant acidity, vertical graphite notes, and a stony texture. It was aged in barrique followed by stainless steel aging to preserve its freshness and clarity. Reflective of the vintage, this is a charming and bright wine to drink over the near term. Drink 2026-2030." 05/26

92 Points, James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com: "A fresh and crunchy red with aromas of plums, cherries, light chocolate and cinnamon, following through to a medium body with fine tannins and a crisp finish. Tangy, with a touch of orange peel. A delicious and satisfying glass of Tuscany red. The second wine of Sassicaia. Drink now." 02/26

93 Points, Kerin O'Keefe, KerinOKeefe.com: "The 2024 Le Difese is lithe and lovely, starting with its enticing scents of violet, woodland berry, Mediterranean scrub and sandalwood. Bright and elegantly structured, the delicious, approachable palate features succulent Morello cherry, raspberry, red currant and star anise before closing on notes of bitter orange and a saline tang. A blend of 75% Sangiovese and 25% Cabernet Sauvignon, it boasts extremely refined tannins while vibrant acidity keeps it nicely balanced. Drink through 2030." 02/26
