Product description
Rutini Coleccion Malbec is a characterful yet refined Argentinian red wine, crafted from carefully selected vineyards in the high-altitude Mendoza region. Here the Malbec grape truly reveals its fruity, deep, and complex personality. In the glass, the wine shows a dark ruby-red color with purple hues, already hinting at its concentration and richness.
On the nose, it offers intense blackcurrant, ripe plum, and sour cherry, lifted by delicate spicy notes. Thanks to ageing in oak barrels, discreet vanilla, cocoa, and chocolate aromas unfold without overpowering the fruit. Aroma and flavor are well aligned, making every sip layered and memorable.
Taste profile and style
On the palate, this Malbec is full and well balanced. The medium to full-bodied structure is supported by silky tannins that integrate smoothly, without becoming harsh or dominant. Alongside the plum, cherry, and blackcurrant notes, you will find gentle spiciness, a touch of pepper, and toasted oak tones. The finish is long and harmonious, with a subtle chocolatey aftertaste.
The acidity is lively yet well integrated, so the wine remains vibrant and easy to drink rather than heavy. This balance also makes it versatile when it comes to food pairing.
Serving and food pairing
Rutini Coleccion Malbec is an excellent choice with red meats such as beef, lamb, or more seasoned pork dishes. It pairs particularly well with grilled or chargrilled dishes, where the roasted flavors echo the wine’s smoky, oaky character. It also works nicely with matured, characterful cheeses, especially semi-hard and hard varieties with more intense flavors.
For optimal enjoyment, serve at 60–64 °F (16–18 °C) to allow the fruity and spicy aromas to fully open up. Brief aeration after opening can further enhance the tasting experience.

It is suitable for special occasions, hosting dinner guests, or elevating a weeknight meal when you want a reliable, characterful red wine.
