Rutini Trumpeter Bonarda 2023
DOZEN: $378.00 or $31.50 each
Rutini Winery, one of the oldest wineries in Argentina, was founded in 1885 by Italian immigrant Don Felipe Rutini and is the founder of Uco Valley, Argentina's current core producer. The chief winemaker Mariano Di Paula was selected by Decanter in 2015. One of the greatest winemakers in the world.
This is a vibrant, modern expression of Bonarda, Argentina’s unsung red grape variety. The wine opens with aromas of ripe black cherry, blueberry, and violet, underscored by subtle notes of licorice, clove, and a touch of cocoa from gentle oak aging. On the palate, it is lush and juicy, with generous dark fruit flavours and soft, rounded tannins. Medium-bodied with a fresh, lifted acidity, it finishes smooth and spicy, making it immensely drinkable and versatile at the table. Aged for a short period in French and American oak, it maintains fruit purity while adding just a hint of structure and complexity.
A great introduction to Bonarda—this is a crowd-pleasing, food-friendly red that shines with grilled meats, roast vegetables, or even a hearty pasta.
