Ruffino MODUS Rosso di Toscana IGT

World famous as a Chianti producer, during the last 25 years Ruffino have diversified their production to become one of Tuscany’s most important ambassadors for quality wine. The Folonari family’s strategy of acquiring and developing 'tenimenti' – individual estates in specialised zones – has given their portfolio great variety and personality. Ruffino now owns a total of 1.500 ha of land including 400 under wine. This diversity reflects the best of both modern and traditional winemaking. In June 2000, the Folonaris decided to officially divide their wine holdings. As a result, Ruffino is now owned by two brothers, Marco and Paolo Folonari, and their sons. Their leadership has freshly infused the Ruffino brand. A ruby red coloured Sangiovese with an appealing aroma of soft fruit, fresh Morello Cherry and Casis. Torgaio is fresh and fragrant on the palate, well structured with surprising length reminiscent of ripe fruit and red liquorice. (12 x 75 cl)
