Description The Felipe Rutini 2015 Magnum is a remarkable expression of Mendoza’s winemaking heritage, crafted in honor of Felipe Rutini, the visionary founder of Bodega La Rural. This majestic 1.5L format embodies prestige, age-worthy complexity, and the art of Argentine viticulture, perfect for collectors and discerning connoisseurs alike. Each varietal is sourced from carefully chosen high-altitude vineyards in Mendoza’s Uco Valley to highlight the character of both the grape and the terroir: The Cabernet Sauvignon and Malbec are both sourced from the prestigious Gualtallary vineyards. This site’s chalky soils and cool climate deliver grapes with exceptional structure, minerality, and freshness that are essential for crafting a wine of elegance and longevity. The Merlot comes from the renowned Altamira vineyards, where slightly warmer conditions and alluvial soils coax plush, ripe fruit and a velvety texture from the variety, perfectly complementing the other components of the blend. By sourcing each grape from its ideal microclimate, Bodega La Rural achieves a perfect balance between structure, elegance, and fruit expression. This site-specific approach highlights the diversity of the Uco Valley, showcasing how altitude, soil composition, and temperature variation shape the character of each varietal. The result is a wine of exceptional depth, complexity, and personality — one that captures both the precision of modern Argentine viticulture and the timeless spirit of Mendoza’s terroir. It’s this thoughtful blending of distinct parcels that gives Felipe Rutini 2015 its signature harmony and ability to age gracefully while delighting the senses today.
