Description
DECANTER 92
Tasted by: James Button (at London, 05 Feb 2026)
Drinking Window: 2026 - 2030
Utilising bought-in Sangiovese from family and friend estates in Chianti and Chianti Rufina – 75% of the blend in 2024 – this vintage of Le Difese perfectly reflects the cooler, rainier growing season, resulting in gentle aromatics and wonderful freshness. Crushed red and black berries combine with chalky tannins. A poised and juicy sip, it's soft yet hemmed in a bit by its structure. Give it a few more months then enjoy.
JAMES SUCKLING 92
A fresh and crunchy red with aromas of plums, cherries, light chocolate and cinnamon, following through to a medium body with fine tannins and a crisp finish. Tangy, with a touch of orange peel. A delicious and satisfying glass of Tuscany red. The second wine of Sassicaia. Drink now.

The 2024 Le Difese is a very pleasant, midweight red to drink now and over the next few years. Crushed red flowers, red berry fruit, mint, chalk, white pepper and blood orange are very nicely lifted. Le Difese is quite attractive, a success in a year marked by persistent rain all the way through to and during harvest.
Antonio Galloni, April 2026
