Description
Rutini Collection Malbec
Rutini Colección Malbec ranks among Argentina’s most recognised premium Malbecs. Mariano Di Paola and the team at Rutini Wines craft this distinguished wine from carefully selected fruit grown in the Uco Valley. The blend combines grapes from Rutini’s three flagship estates: Gualtallary, El Cepillo, and La Consulta. As a result, each vineyard contributes unique characteristics that create exceptional complexity, elegance, and balance.
Exceptional Vineyards in the Uco Valley
The vineyards sit between 950 and 1,185 metres above sea level. Cool mountain nights, low rainfall, and stony soils encourage slow ripening and concentrated flavours. In addition, these high-altitude conditions help preserve freshness and natural acidity.
Rutini’s viticulture team focuses on quality at every step. They limit yields, hand-prune the vines, and harvest the grapes by hand. Consequently, only the finest fruit reaches the winery.
Rich, Complex and Elegant
In the glass, Rutini Colección Malbec displays a deep ruby-red colour with vibrant violet hues. The bouquet opens with aromas of blackberry, plum, and black cherry. Layers of vanilla, chocolate, and sweet spice follow, adding further complexity.
On the palate, the wine feels rich and velvety. Ripe dark fruit flavours blend seamlessly with notes of mocha and spice. Meanwhile, refined tannins provide structure and elegance. The finish remains long, smooth, and persistent.
A Reflection of Rutini’s Philosophy
Rutini Colección Malbec forms part of the prestigious Colección range. The wine showcases both varietal character and the distinctive terroirs of the Uco Valley. Furthermore, it highlights Rutini’s commitment to quality, consistency, and authenticity.
Wine critics and consumers continue to recognise this Malbec in Argentina and around the world. Therefore, it stands as a fine example of the aristocratic style that defines the Rutini name.
A Legacy of Innovation Since 1885
Felipe Rutini founded Rutini Wines in 1885 and helped shape Argentine viticulture. In 1925, the winery became the first to establish vineyards in the Uco Valley. Later, Rutini modernised its historic La Rural facilities and opened a state-of-the-art winery in Tupungato in 2008.
Today, Rutini Wines produces acclaimed labels including Felipe Rutini, Antología, Apartado, Single Vineyard, Dominio, Colección Rutini, Encuentro, and Trumpeter. The vineyards thrive at elevations between 1,050 and 1,200 metres, allowing the winery to craft wines that express both place and variety.
Winemaking Excellence
Rutini Wines produces approximately 8.5 million litres annually while maintaining strict quality standards. The modern Tupungato facility supports every stage of production with advanced technology and precision winemaking.
Mariano Di Paola has led the winemaking team since 1994. Together with a specialised agronomy team, he focuses on vineyard management practices that enhance terroir expression. The winery also operates advanced fermentation systems and maintains 6,500 French oak barrels. As a result, Rutini achieves exceptional consistency, complexity, and ageing potential across its premium portfolio.
Aging: 12 months in french oak.
