The Supremus is SOLD OUT!

If you missed the mad rush to grab this morning’s offer, it’s all good because we’re busting out LE DIFESE!! The one and only “Baby Sassicaia” from Tenuta San Guido!! An absolute blockbuster from the “best ever” 2016 vintage. Factor in FIVE 90-93 point scores from just about every major wine reviewer, and a price tag under $25 and you get a total and complete no-brainer!

This wine comes from the younger vines on the only famous Bolgheri estate with its own appellation where Sassicaia is bred. You will recall that the 2015 Sassicaia was Wine Spectator’s #1 Wine of the Year and the 2016 earned 100-points from Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate. Le Difese is made from a portion of the grapes that don’t find their way into the $250+ sibling, and therefore it ALWAYS represents a truly spectacular value.

Wine & Spirits nailed it: “No hard edges…ripe fruit…inner energy…layered and complex.” Warm, friendly, feminine style. Indeed this warm and feminine blend of 70% Cabernet and 30% charms with its bright raspberry, alpine strawberry, light black fruits and subtle spices. A wine to pop and enjoy with instant pleasure while you wait for your big gun Super Tuscans to age.

All the Italian wine lovers already exited this email long ago and are clicking like mad to add these to their carts - do what you must to get yours!

Here are just some of those big accolades for this STEAL with the littlest price tag for its might…

93 Points – James Suckling

“Very aromatic and bright with strawberry, cherry and currant character. Hints of oranges. Full-bodied, linear and tight, showing ultra-fine tannins. Potential here.”

91 Points – Antonio Galloni’s Vinous

“Vintages 2017 and 2016 could not be more different at Tenuta San Guido. Production is down significantly in 2017 - 45% for Le Difese, 15% for Guidalberto and 25% for Sassicaia - because of severe dehydration on the vine. Even so, the 2017s are gorgeous, but very much in the radiant style of a warm vintage. Readers will find much more classicism in the 2016s, wines that impress for their captivating aromatic intensity, depth and poise. In short, 2016 is a superb vintage for San Guido. The 2016 Le Difese is a gorgeous entry-level wine from Tenuta San Guido. A lovely sense of translucence runs through the black cherry, plum, lavender and mint flavors. I can’t remember a Difese with this much sheer finesse and class. Drink 2018-2024.”

91 Points – Wine Enthusiast

“Made with 70% Cabernet Sauvignon and 30% Sangiovese, this offers enticing aromas of black-skinned berry, iris and cedar. The savory, balanced palate delivers red currant, dried black cherry, star anise and white pepper alongside fine-grained tannins. Drink through 2023.”
