About Tenuta San Guido, Le Difese 2024
"This vintage perfectly reflects the cooler, rainier growing season of 2024, resulting in delicate aromas and wonderful freshness. Crushed red and black berries blend with chalky tannins. A balanced and juicy delight that is soft yet still somewhat restrained by its structure. Give it a few more months, and then enjoy it." Decanter
