James SucklingAromas of crushed stones, dark berries and blueberries follow through to a medium to full body with creamy tannins and a medium-chewy finish. Chocolate at the end. Sangiovese, cabernet sauvignon and merlot. Two or three years of bottle age will bring this around nicely. Drink after 2024.

Wine AdvocateA blend of 44% Sangiovese, 37% Cabernet Sauvignon and 19% Merlot, the 2019 Modus is a very contemporary wine with soft extraction, lots of dark fruit and gentle tannins spread over a full-bodied style. You get sunshine and warm Tuscany in the glass, and although this blend of grapes tells you less about its territory, it gives you a generous glass to pair with grilled meats. Black cherry is followed by pencil shaving, sweet earth and barbecue spice. Only the 15% alcohol content is a little too much. Best After 2022
Chianti Classico is the heart and soul of Tuscany, hailing from the rolling hills between Florence and Siena and proudly wearing its black rooster emblem on the bottle. Made primarily from the Sangiovese grape, it bursts with flavors of tart cherry, plum, dried herbs, and a touch of earthiness, all wrapped in lively acidity and gentle tannins. The region’s sunny days and cool nights give the wines balance, freshness, and a distinctly savory edge. Aging rules vary from basic Chianti Classico to Riserva and Gran Selezione, each offering deeper complexity and elegance. Pour a glass alongside pasta al ragù, grilled steak, or aged Pecorino, and you’ll understand why Chianti Classico is Italy’s eternal table companion—rustic yet refined, timelessly delicious.
Tuscan blends, notably the Super Tuscan, represent wines from Italy's Tuscany region, featuring innovative combinations of grape varieties. These blends, often including Sangiovese with international grapes like Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, defy traditional regulations, resulting in rich and full-bodied wines. Reflecting the region's diverse terroir, Tuscan blends harmoniously balance fruit, acidity, and tannins, making them both versatile and appealing to wine enthusiasts.
