Tenuta San Guido
Le Difese Toscana Cabernet Sauvignon Sangiovese
Tuscany, Italy
A blend of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon and 30% Sangiovese. Aromas of fresh ripe fruits with notes of earthy floral. On the palate cherry and strawberry flavors with citrus and pepper spice. Developing fIne tannins with a slight grip, medium finish ending with fruit and spice. Enjoy, drinking well but needs more bottle age.

San Guido’s third wine, great bang for the buck! Tight at first but opened up rather quickly. Leather nose, cherry and oak and a ting of plum and pine in the finish. Young but yum.

Musty mix, chewy and bitter. Dry, young and tannic. Love the winery but not this particular wine.

Grocery store bought in Como Mercato. We finally settled into a great Airbnb in Laglio--- a few doors down from George and Amal. We were invited to the Villa, but the heck with that... I haven't had good thoughts about Hollywood since at least 2016. Anyway, decent cab/sang blend, welcome departure from Langhe, but nothing spectacular. I do love other offerings from this winery though.
