2024 | Guidalberto & Le Difese

Always a popular release, the latest vintage of Guidalberto, Sassicaia's fabulous younger sibling, hits the market today at £275 per 6 bottles IB. Guidalberto is a superb introduction to the famous Super Tuscan estate, but it is more than just a second wine. It combines Sassicaia's trademark Cabernet Sauvignon grapes from its renowned vineyards with sumptuous Merlot to give silky fruit, a glorious opulence and huge individual character. 

Tenuta San Guido has also released their brilliant everyday drinking wine called
Le Difese. It was initially made just for private consumption amongst the estate's friends and family. Too good not to share, it was commercialised in the early 2000s and in that time has become just as popular as Sassicaia itself! A blend of 45% Cabernet Sauvignon and 55% Sangiovese, Le Difese delivers the Sassicaia style and terroir in an approachable, early drinking format.
