CRITIC REVIEWS
Antonio Galloni
The 2022 Le Difese is plump, juicy and expressive, all of which make it a fine choice for drinking now and over the next handful of years. Crushed flowers, succulent red cherry fruit, mint, spice and blood orange all race across the palate. This exuberant yet mid-weight coastal Tuscan red is a total pleasure bomb. The 2022 is an especially fine edition. It benefits from a warm year - which can be a positive for entry-level wines - earlier bottling and selection. Le Difese is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (both estate and non-estate sites) and Sangiovese, all purchased.

Full bottle just 1,185 g. 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Sangiovese generally aged for 12 months in French and American barrels previously used for Guidalberto. Bright, transparent garnet. Sappy, approachable nose - more approachable than Guidalberto 2022 at the moment. Quite a charmer with a little Sangiovese bite on the finish for the short term. Neat, medium finish. (JR)
