Routine Trumpeter Malbec (2021)

Trumpeter Malbec from Rutini wines is a fruit bomb with lots of berry flavour.

Rutini Trumpeter Malbec consists of 100% of Malbec grown on Rutini's fields in Tupungato with controlled irrigation and no use of fertilizers. The climate in Tupungato is sunny and dry during the day and thus allows the grapes to ripen perfectly. The nights are cold and, together with the controlled watering, it provides a good balance between sugar and acid in the grapes. They are harvested by hand when they have reached perfect maturity and immediately driven to the winery.

After malolactic fermentation, the wine is aged in 30% new French oak barrels, 30% new American oak barrels and 40% used American oak barrels for seven months.

Scent: Cherries are followed by a hint of cinnamon and sweet spices.
Taste: Here, the mouth is filled with a fruity wine with lots of flavour, intense tannins. And the taste of cherries, blackberries, boysenberries and plums mixed with hints of cardamom and pepper. Long and rich aftertaste.
Serving suggestion: Strong meat dishes, such as a good steak or grilled meat.
Serving temperature: 16-18ºC.

About the Vinhuset:

The Rutini family's winemaking tradition began in the early 19th century in Le Marche, Italy, when Francisco Rutini made wine for the residents of his hometown, Ascoli Piceno. His only son Felipe Rutini immigrated to Argentina where he planted his first vines in Coquimbito, Maipú in Mendoza province.

Since its founding in 1885, Rutini Wines has been recognized for the exceptional quality and character of its wines. Today, Rutini Wines has vineyards located in different areas of the Mendoza region. The different location of the vineyards makes it possible for Rutini Wines to grow the individual grape types in that area; which gives each grape type the most optimal growing conditions.

The original buildings from 1885, located in Maipú, were completely renovated in the 1990s and completely new technology was installed. However, the original architecture has been preserved. In October 2008, Rutini Wines expanded and built a new winery in Uco Valley, Mendoza. As early as March 2009, the winery was ready to receive the first harvest.

At Rutini Wines, the focus is on obtaining the best grapes by keeping yields low, pruning the vines and harvesting the grapes by hand. Because every detail is closely watched, the people at Rutini Wines are able to harvest the grapes at just the right time.
