Modus Toscana I.G.T. 75cl (2020) RUFFINO

A Super Tuscan. "Modus", the Latin word for 'method', is Ruffino's contemporary way of expressing Tuscany with a blend of three noble grape varieties. First introduced in 1997, the Modus routinely garners exceptional acclaim from the top wine critics worldwide. Sangiovese is the core of Modus, providing refined texture along with cherry and red berry aromas; the Merlot offers smoothness enriched by blackberry fruit and delicate notes of mint; the Cabernet Sauvignon lends structure, and also unites all three grape types with its elegance. The special label features a compass that artfully represents the meticulous balance of all the elements that come together to give this wine its distinctive character: vines, sun, fruit, soil, dedication and the passage of time. This wine has delightful hints of tobacco and spice leading to inviting aromas of cherries, strawberries, and plums. Full-bodied, rich with refined, with silky tannins and a long finish of vanilla and red berry essence that is particularly pleasurable. Wonderful on its own, or served with bold meat dishes or mature cheeses. If stored correctly the Modus can be aged for many years in the bottle.
