Tenuta San Guido Le Difese 2017

The Red wine The defenses of Tenuta San Guido owes its origin to the mind of a great inventor, the Marquis Mario Inciso della Rocchetta. According to tradition, the latter after World War II dedicated himself to the bottling of carefully selected wines with a strong character. Once again a noble Tuscan wine that grows in the Upper Maremma, in the more than well-known municipality of Bolghieri, in Le Capanne. The Red wine Le difese comes from the blending of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon and 30% Sangiovese. Its unique and refined taste comes from the calcareous and clayey soils rich in galestro on which the spurred cordon and Guyot training system is carried out. The harvest, obtained exclusively by manual labor, comes to life at the end of September for Cabernet Sauvignon, while for Sangiovese it is necessary to wait for the middle of the following month. The must, placed in stainless steel tanks, is fermented for 15 days at a constant temperature only after pressing and soft destemming. In the following 12 months, aging takes place in second-passage oak barrels followed by bottling. Finally it reaches its full maturation resting for 3 months.
