Rutini

Since the times when Filipe Rutini arrived from Italy, Rutini has been and continues to be the first reference when it comes to the subject of wine in Argentina. Currently, the winery produces 4 million liters of the 6 million that Rutini hopes to achieve. There are currently 2,000 oak barrels in use and they intend to expand that number to 5,000. When construction is complete, the winery is expected to produce 500,000 liters of sparkling wine per year.

The first to plant vineyards in the Uco Valley, today the main wine region in Argentina

From the start, Felipe Rutini was guided by the motto “Labor and perseverance.” This attitude shaped the development of his wines, which became synonymous with superlative quality. In 1925 Rutini began to plant vines in the Uco Valley.

From those first pioneering vines, the region has continued to expand its plantings and become one of the primary wine-producing areas in Mendoza. In the 1990s, the original Bodega La Rural facilities in Coquimbito were completely renovated, incorporating cutting-edge technology into the nineteenth-century structure.

Today that property houses the Bodega La Rural Wine Museum, where visitors can learn about Felipe Rutini’s first forays into wine production and witness the evolution of traditional techniques and machinery. In keeping with its founder’s drive for excellence, in 2008 construction began on a new Rutini Wines facility in Tupungato, within the Uco Valley.

It is there that top level wines, such as Felipe Rutini, Apartado, Antología, Single Vineyard , Colección Rutini, Encuentro, and Trumpeter wines are currently produced. The Uco Valley vineyards comprise more than 400 hectares at an altitude of between 1,050 and 1,200 meters above sea level. An additional 120 hectares of fields are currently being planted with vines will expand the winery’s possibilities for producing unique wines that are carefully tended to and nurtured from the very beginning.

The winery currently produces 4 million liters of the 6 million Rutini expects to achieve. There are currently 2,000 oak barrels in use, and they expect to expand that number to 5,000. Once the construction has been completed, the winery is also expected to produce 500,000 liters of sparkling wine per year.
