Introduced as a wine in 2002, Le Difese is the only wine on the estate using Sangiovese, the fruit being bought in from estates in Chianti and Chianti Ruffina. The percentage of Sangiovese has increased from 30% in 2018, to 45% in 2019 and now in 2020 it is dominant with 55% of the blend, adding a real freshness to a wine that is already made to be approachable and drinkable when young. The wine is matured for eight months in French and American (15%) oak. To look at the wine is semi-transparent, medium ruby red, showing blue plum, red cherry, fig notes with a wisp of smoke and Mediterranean herbs; the palate is dense but fresh and giving, juicy and voluptuous; tannins are gravelly but well integrated, the finish almost abrupt with a wet chalk note. Superb value
