Ruffino Modus Toscana IGT

Ruffino Modus Toscana IGT Italian Red Wine weaves together vibrant fruit flavors from sangiovese, cabernet sauvignon, and merlot wine varietals with finesse, each varietal adding its distinct characteristics. Italian sangiovese lends texture, merlot works in smoothness, and cabernet gives structure; all blend harmoniously into a delicious red wine representative of Tuscany. First produced in 1997, this dark red wine blend opens with an intense, complex bouquet of mature black fruit, including cherry, plum, and blackberry. These fruity wine aromas are joined by floral notes and hints of spiced cinnamon and cloves. A full-bodied red blend wine with modern style, this red berry wine is rich with silky tannins and flavors of ripe blackberry fruit that lead to a long finish. Containing only the best grapes from the Poggio Casciano estate, this Ruffino wine reveals itself without coaxing or manipulation. Each varietal in this Italian wine is picked at optimum ripeness and vinified separately before being blended and aged for 12 months in French oak barrels. Enjoy a glass of wine on its own, or pair this barrel aged wine with Italian dishes like duck and pancetta, pasta bolognese, beef-stuffed manicotti, and aged cheeses. Store this wine at room temperature, but chill it for about 30 to 60 minutes before enjoying.
