We're thrilled to be joined again by Lucas Monge from Del Mundo Imports for a culinary and viticultural tour of the Mendoza region of his home country of Argentina. Those of you who made it to our Sicilian night last winter know Lucas is a fantastic guide to international wines. This year he has secured an allocation of wines from the Rutini vineyards of Mendoza, a region famed for its high altitude Malbec, red blends and Chardonnays as well as hearty cuisine blending Spanish and Italian influences. We hope you'll join us for this evening celebrating one of the pioneering vineyards of Argentine wine. 

Founded in 1885 by Felipe Rutini, Rutini Wines pioneered viticulture in Mendoza, becoming the first winery to plant vineyards in the Uco Valley in 1925. Committed to innovation, the winery modernised its historic La Rural facilities in the 1990s and later established a state-of-the-art winery in Tupungato in 2008. Today, it produces high-end labels such as Felipe Rutini, Antología, Apartado, Single Vineyard, Dominio, Colección Rutini, Encuentro, and Trumpeter, with vineyards thriving at 1,050–1,200 meters above sea level.

With an annual production of 8.5 million liters and continuous growth, Rutini Wines ensures the highest quality standards at its cutting-edge Tupungato facility. Under the direction of Mariano Di Paola, chief winemaker since 1994 and recognised by Decanter as one of the world’s top 30 winemakers, the winery integrates innovation and precision at every stage of vinification. Supported by a specialised agronomy team, vineyard management is optimised to enhance terroir expression. The winery is equipped with advanced fermentation systems and 6,500 French oak barrels, ensuring ideal aging conditions.
