Ruffino Modus Primo 2019
Founded in 1877 by cousins Ilario and Leopoldo Ruffino, the winery has a history of championing Tuscany's reputation by producing clean, precise, and delicious wines. Ruffino's winemaking philosophy honours the idea that the best wines come from the best vineyards, which is maintained by meticulously choosing top sites, managing the vines, and employing non-interventionist practices to let the quality of the fruit reveal itself.
Wine Description
This wine is a 'Super Tuscan' blend of Sangiovese, Merlot, and Cabernet Sauvignon. It displays a deep garnet and ruby red colour. The nose offers dark notes of mature black fruit, with elegant and discreet wood completing a bold bouquet. Other aromatic notes include ripe cherries, plum, cassis, vanilla, baking spices, dark berries, and balsamic touches.
On the palate, it is described as full-bodied, generous, and complex, with a dark core and a radiant finish. Flavours include ripe dark berry, dark cherry, blueberry, plum, chocolate, dark bitter chocolate, spicy, savoury, and velvety notes. The wine is structured by high and precise tannins that are firm, chewy, and gripping.
Food Pairing
The complex flavour profile and structure of the Ruffino Modus Primo make it suitable for rich, savoury dishes. Suggested pairings include Italian and international meat dishes, such as grilled beef steaks, venison, and classic Tuscan dishes like Bistecca alla Fiorentina.
