Ruffino Modus Toscana Red Wine weaves together vibrant fresh fruit flavors from sangiovese, cabernet sauvignon and merlot red grapes with finesse, each adding their own distinctive characteristics. Sangiovese lends texture, merlot works in smoothness and cabernet gives structure. This red wine blend is intriguing on the nose with initial aromas of mature red and black fruits, such as cherries, plums, and small black berries. These intense aromas are complemented by hints of spices, sweet tobacco and refined balsamic notes. Full-bodied with a modern style, this red wine blend is rich with silky tannins and a long finish of vanilla and red berry. Containing the best grapes from the Poggio Casciano estate, this Italian wine reveals itself without coaxing or manipulation. Pair a glass with duck and pancetta, beef-stuffed manicotti and aged cheeses. Store this bottle of wine at room temperature, but refrigerate for about 30 to 60 minutes before pouring a glass.
