6 Bottle Case Tenuta San Guido Le Difese Toscana IGT 2023 Rated 93JD w/ Shipping Included

Jeb Dunnuck Review
Rated 93
The 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. It's 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. Drinking Window 2025-2035.
