Rutini Cabernet Sauvignon-Malbec 2022
DESCRIPTION
The Rutini Colección Cabernet Malbec 2022 embodies the excellence of the Rutini Wines house, founded in 1885 and a pioneer in the Uco Valley since 1925. This balanced blend (50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 50% Malbec) marries the structure and length of the Cabernet with the silky texture of the Malbec.
Crafted by Mariano Di Paola, head oenologist since 1994, this wine benefits from manual harvesting and is aged for 12 months in barrels (50% new French oak, 50% new American oak).
Intense red with purplish reflections, it reveals aromas of ripe dark fruits (blackberries, plums), along with spicy and woody notes. On the palate, it offers beautiful amplitude, firm and well-integrated tannins, and a long, persistent finish.
Perfect for accompanying grilled red meats, stewed dishes, and pasta with ragú.
REGION
Mendoza
Argentina
Mendoza is the largest wine-producing region in Argentina. Located on a high plateau on the edge of the Andes, the province is responsible for approximately 70% of the country's annual wine production. The French grape variety Malbec has its New World home in the vineyards of Mendoza, producing red wines of great concentration and intensity. While Malbec is undoubtedly the star of the region, there are also numerous plantings of Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Syrah, Torrontes and Sauvignon Blanc.
