Who produces Le Difese Tenuta San Guido Toscana IGT 2022?

Tenuta San Guido is a winery located in Bolgheri, on the Tuscan coast, owned by the Incisa della Rocchetta family. This estate has gained international renown thanks to Sassicaia, one of Italy's most acclaimed wines, which played a major role in establishing coastal Tuscany as a leading wine-growing region from the 1970s.

Le Difese is part of the same estate's range, under the broader Toscana IGT designation, which allows greater flexibility in blending grape varieties than neighboring DOC or DOCG appellations.

In what terroir is Le Difese Tenuta San Guido Toscana IGT 2022 produced?

Toscana IGT covers the entire regional area, with a wide variety of soils ranging from the schistous galestro of the interior to the more clay-rich and limestone soils of the coast, such as in Bolgheri. The Tuscan climate, Mediterranean and tempered by the sea on the coast, promotes even ripening of the grapes, particularly Cabernet Sauvignon and Sangiovese, grape varieties widely grown in this area.

At what temperature should Le Difese Tenuta San Guido Toscana IGT 2022 be served?

Toscana IGT red wines are generally served between 16 and 18°C, in a sufficiently open glass to allow them to breathe. Their aging potential varies depending on the blend and desired style, but structured cuvées in this category can be kept in a cellar for several years.

What should you know about Le Difese Tenuta San Guido Toscana IGT 2022?
