From the Tuscany wine region, a mouth-watering, medium-bodied red wine blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Sangiovese wine grapes, lip-smacking and savoury with dark cherry, plum, toasted nut and dusty herbs flavours finishing silky and smooth on the palate.

Food pairings: prime rib, hearty meat stews, pork tenderloin.

Le Difese 2018 is a mouth-watering Cabernet Sauvignon and Sangiovese red wine blend with dark cherry, plum, dusty herb and nutty flavours smooth on the palate. Savoury and satisfying. Pour with a rich meaty pasta dish smothered in tomato sauce. - Community Wine Reviews

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.
