The 2014 Le Difese is a blend of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon and 30% Sangiovese that shows bright berry nuances and a tangy, energized personality. The bouquet is simple and straightforward with a low-key fruit profile that does not stray from the original intention of this wine—to create a home for the estate's Sangiovese and to offer a simple, food-friendly, entry-level red.
This French oak barreled wine has an intense bouquet and an extremely full structure on the palate. The body is velvety, harmonious and the complexity deserves a special mention.
Recommended with sauced meat, aged cheese, heavy soups, grilled steak and lamb chops.
