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 vintage saw extreme fruit selection in order to maintain quality. As a result, production of this wine is down to 120,000 bottles made from previous production numbers of 400,000 bottles.

A meaty, powerful red, offering subdued black currant, cherry, thyme, cedar and earth aromas and flavors. Solidly structured, with dusty tannins on the finish. Cabernet Sauvignon and Sangiovese. Best from 2017 through 2024. 28,000 cases made.
