Rutini Cabernet Malbec 2022

Drink it now or cellar for up to 15 years. It is recommended to decant it for an hour. Rutini is a line of wines produced in the Tupungato area by Bodega Rural. This winery has deep roots in the past, and its foundation dates back to the late 1800s, when Felipe Rutini, an Italian who emigrated to Argentina, created his winery in Coquimbito, a rural hamlet of the department of Maip, in the wine region of Mendoza. Today the estate owns over four hundred hectares of vineyards, distributed in the wine-growing region of Valle de Uco, at the foot of the Andes mountain range. The altitude, between 1000 and 1500 meters above sea level, the variety of microclimates, and the nature of the land allow for the production of grapes of exceptional quality, vinified with advanced technologies, and with the utmost respect for tradition. This exquisite Argentine blend is made with 50% Cabernet Sauvignon and 50% Malbec grapes. The bold character and firm structure of Cabernet Sauvignon, with the roundness and softness of Malbec, create a harmonious and balanced wine, with an intense fruit concentration and great elegance. The final wine is aged for a year in partly new and partly second-passage French barrels. Try it with braised and stewed meat.
