Description
What kind of wine is it
Rutini's Malbec is an organic and vegan still red wine with an enveloping profile. Made from Malbec grapes grown in the renowned Mendoza region, it is fermented in steel and aged in oak barrels, standing out for its elegant structure and intense aromatic concentration. On the palate, it reveals notes of plum, cherry and raspberry, enhanced by floral hints of violet. Freshness harmoniously balances the richness of the sip, while the silky tannins lead to a persistent finish, making it ideal for pairing with grilled red meats.
Where does it come from
This expression is the result of a careful selection in the Uco Valley, within the famous Mendoza area. The vines take root in Altamira, Gualtallary and La Consulta, growing in high-altitude vineyards situated between 1,200 and 1,300 metres above sea level. This geographical location ensures a marked temperature range, essential for optimal fruit ripening and the development of deep aromas. This particular environmental condition gives the wine a distinct territorial identity, offering a dynamic and lively sip.
How is it produced
Rutini's production begins with the manual harvesting of the grapes, followed by fermentation in steel to preserve the fruit's fragrance. After malolactic fermentation, aimed at softening the structure, ageing continues for twelve months in French oak barrels. This maturation period perfectly integrates the tannic texture, enriching the bouquet with nuances of spices, cocoa and tobacco.

In the 1990s, the original Bodega La Rural facilities in Coquimbito were completely renovated, incorporating cutting-edge technology into the nineteenth-century structure. Today that property houses the Bodega La Rural Wine Museum, where visitors can learn about Felipe Rutini’s first forays into wine production and witness the evolution of traditional techniques and machinery. In keeping with its founder’s drive for excellence, in 2008 construction began on a new Rutini Wines facility in Tupungato, within the Uco Valley. It is there that our top level wines, such as Felipe Rutini, Apartado, Antología, Single Vineyard , Colección Rutini, Encuentro, and Trumpeter wines are currently produced. Our Uco Valley vineyards comprise more than 400 hectares at an altitude of between 1,050 and 1,200 meters above sea level. An additional 120 hectares of fields that are currently being planted with vines will expand the winery’s possibilities for producing unique wines that are carefully tended to and nurtured from the very beginning.
