Unit price perThe 2021 Le Difese is redolent of crushed red berry fruit, rose petal, lavender, spice and sweet pipe tobacco. Medium in body yet nicely layered, the 2021 is impeccably balanced. It is also a sheer delight to taste at this early stage. In many vintages, Le Difese is a fruity, forward wine, but the 2021 has a nervy feeling of classicism that is hugely appealing. It's one of my favorite recent vintages. As it has been for some time, Le Difese is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon from the estate and Sangiovese purchased from several properties in Chianti Classico, with the energy of Sangiovese very much driving the feel in this vintage.

Soils: The substratum is characterised by a lava slab of considerable areal extension, with outcrops of “Lavas and pyroclastics that are difficult to delimit with a degraded surface morphology” (Mongibello Antico-Mongibello Recente) (GEOLOGICAL MAP OF MOUNT ETNA, CNR 1979), where the pedogenic processes, favoured by the sub-flat morphology, have generated a
medium-deep soil rich in small and medium-sized volcanic stones that cover a large part of the terrain.
