Ruffino - IGT Toscana - Modus Primo 2019

Keywords :  Class / Length / Elegance

The wine : Modus Primo by Ruffino is an exceptional Super Tuscan resulting from a wonderful blend of Merlot, Sangiovese, and Cabernet Sauvignon grape varieties. The magnificent terroirs of the Poggio Casciano estate, located on picturesque hills near Florence, are showcased here. This great wine stands out for its intense aromas of ripe black fruits (blackberry, plum, cherry), subtly enhanced by elegant notes of fine wood and spices (rose, potpourri, coffee, clove, pepper, licorice). On the palate, Modus Primo offers a generous and complex structure, with precise tannins leading to a brilliant finish. Aged for 18 months in new French oak barrels, it embodies the excellence of the Tuscan terroir and the centuries-old expertise of the house. A magical bottle that will pair perfectly with red meats, saucy dishes, or aged cheeses such as Parmesan or Pecorino.

With six estates spread across the region’s most beautiful appellations (Chianti Classico, Brunello di Montalcino, etc.), Ruffino has managed to preserve and enhance the Tuscan terroir while adapting to the demands of the international market. The company has built a solid reputation thanks to a range of wines that extends from everyday pleasure products to prestigious cuvées such as Ducale Oro or Modus Primo. Here, each bottle reflects ancestral know-how and a constant quest for excellence. This alchemy is what makes Ruffino an essential monument of Italian wine!
