2023 | Tenuta San Guido Le Difese Toscana IGT | Tuscany Chikurin Marumoto Sake violet and graphite flavors accentedThe 2023 Le Difese includes Sangiovese from Montosoli and Rufina in Chianti Classico in the blend. The nose is fresh and pure, with a juicy, floral perfume of fresh red berries, violets, and wet stone. Its fresh and inviting on the palate, with the very pretty elegance that the Sangiovese brings with its more defined structure and refreshing feel. This is a fabulous entry wine to drink over the coming 8 10 years. 93 Pts Jeb Dunnuck
