A bright, dry sparkling wine for lively aperitifs and celebratory tables
Rutini Dominio Extra Brut is crisp, delicate and refreshing, with fine, persistent bubbles and a smooth, silky mousse. Expect green apple, pear and citrus zest, lifted by soft white-flower aromas and a subtle brioche note; the finish is clean, dry and pleasantly fresh.
This is a sparkling wine for people who prefer their fizz bright rather than sweet. Serve it well chilled for a first glass with friends, a toast that does not need a grand occasion, or a relaxed dinner where the bubbles can carry through the meal.
Its lively, fruit-led character sits especially well with seafood, sushi, soft cheeses and light appetisers. It also makes a thoughtful welcome drink when you want something polished but easy to share.
Why you’ll love it
- A dry Extra Brut style: crisp and refreshing rather than sweet.
- Fine, persistent bubbles and a silky mousse give each sip a smooth, delicate feel.
- Green apple, pear and citrus zest bring a bright, clean fruit character.
- A light brioche note adds a little extra savoury interest without weighing the wine down.
- Easy to pour before dinner and equally useful alongside seafood, sushi or a celebratory spread.
The story behind the wine
Rutini Wines traces its story to 1885, when Felipe Rutini founded Bodega La Rural in Coquimbito, Maipú, Mendoza. It is a useful piece of context for a bottle designed for sharing: the house has had a long connection with the occasions and meals around which Argentine wine is enjoyed.
Rutini says it became the first winery to plant vineyards in the Uco Valley in 1924, helping establish an area now recognised as one of Mendoza’s important winegrowing centres. That pioneering move gives depth to the winery’s Mendoza identity, while this wine keeps the experience simple and inviting: bright fruit, fresh lift and fine bubbles.
The producer also notes that its Tupungato winery, begun in 2008, makes the Dominio line, and that its farms lie at 1,050–1,200 metres above sea level. For this Extra Brut, the approved product information specifies carefully selected high-altitude Mendoza grapes; it is the freshness they retain that suits the wine’s dry, lively style.
