I recently was finally able to acquire a parcel of a wine I tasted first at Vinitaly this past year, and is a great value in Italian wine. The 2007 Le Difese is the third wine from Tenuta San Guido, the producer of Sassicaia and Guidalberto. A blend of 70% Cab and 30% Sangiovese, this is a very elegant wine for the price.
This bottle, opened just a few days after arrival from IWM in New York, was a bit disjointed upon opening, showing off a lot of Cab flavors but little typicity of its Italian upbringing. On the second night though, things were more in balance and it was starting to show off a little more. I'm happy to have 5 more bottles of this wine, and highly recommend it if you can find it - this is a special wine for a pretty reasonable price.
