Rutini Trumpeter Malbec showcases a fruit-forward expression of Malbec from the Uco Valley. Deep ruby in colour, it offers aromas of forest berries, cherry and plum with a touch of violet. On the palate the wine is full-bodied, ripe and aromatic, packed with dark fruit notes and hints of cinnamon, sweet spice and a gentle cocoa character. Firm yet silky tannins are beautifully balanced by refreshing acidity. This keeps the generous style vibrant and easy to drink. A long finish brings back berries, spice and a subtle hint of cardamom. An excellent choice with steak, stews and richly seasoned pasta dishes.
Beneath the sharp Andean light, Rutini in Argentina has pursued a singular idea since 1885: Mendoza should speak with nuance, not volume. What began as Felipe Rutini’s Bodega La Rural evolved into a benchmark house that looked early toward the Uco Valley, where alluvial fans, streaks of limestone and high elevations stretch the growing season and keep natural freshness....
Malbec, also called Côt in France, is known for deep colour, plum, blackberry, black cherry, violet and spicy notes. Styles range from smooth and fruit-driven to powerful and structured.
It pairs especially well with steak, grilled meats, lamb, braised dishes, mushrooms and mature cheese. Malbec is exciting because it shows both Argentine richness and the firmer, traditional character of Cahors.
