The 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, 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, while the Cabernet Sauvignon lends structure, and also unites all three grape types with its elegance. Modus’ 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.
Tasting Notes
Intense ruby red. Intense and intriguing with a complex bouquet of blackberries and established flowers that evolves into cinnamon and clove notes. A rich and enduring wine, with soft tannins and an impressive structure.
