2024 Frescobaldi Castiglioni & Tenuta San Guido "Le Difese" - Tuscany, Bolgheri, Chianti Classico - 2 Magnums (1.5L)

Chianti Castiglioni 2024 has a vibrant ruby ​​red color. It's a pleasantly fruity wine on the nose, with notes reminiscent of red currant, raspberry, morello cherry, and wild strawberry. The finish offers a lovely floral sensation accompanied by spicy notes of clove. On the palate, it's lively and fresh, with lovely tannins that are present but never invasive. The finish is lovely, long, clean, and delicate.

Le Difese—a blend of 70% Cabernet and 30% Sangiovese—undergoes fermentation in temperature-controlled steel vats, with a maceration period of approximately 12 days for both the Cabernet Sauvignon and the Sangiovese. It is then aged for 12 months in French and American oak barriques, followed by an additional three months of bottle aging.
