Recently distinguished with the first place in the Master Blenders, Mariano Di Paola’s name returns to the forefront of the wine world by being recognized by Tim Atkin as Winemaker Legend in his report on Argentine wines of 2018.<\/a>
\nDi Paola’s prestige is not a novelty.
\nIn 2015 he was selected by Decanter<\/em> magazine as one of the thirty best winemakers in the world.
\nDuring the realization of the first Master Blenders<\/em> held in Argentina in February 2018, Di Paola excelled with the Rutini Antolog\u00eda XLIV.<\/a>
\nTwenty-five top Argentine winemakers conducted a blind tasting and scored the best blends.
\nDi Paola’s wine obtained the highest score.
\nIn his latest report on Argentine wine, Tim Atkin highlighted another of Rutini Wines’ innovative creations: the Single Vineyard Malbec 2014<\/a>.
\nThis exponent of Argentine Malbec, from Gualtallary, scored 95 points in the list of the best 100 Argentine wines.
\nThe American James Suckling, another of the great referents in international wine criticism, rated the same wine with 94 points.
\nBeyond the point of difference, the coincidence is not a coincidence: it is further proof that this Malbec expresses the best of the Gualtallary<\/a> soil and confirms the exceptional conditions of the vineyard that Rutini Wines owns in the Uco Valley.
\nTim Atkin is an authority in the world of wine.
\nThis is his sixth annual report on Argentine wines.
\nThe renowned British Master of Wine has been a regular visitor to our country since the early nineties and has closely followed the career of Di Paola, his Legend Winemaker for 2018.
\nAccording to Atkin’s report, this year the number of wines with a score above ninety points increased.
\nIn his presentation he states that Argentina is making the best wines in its history.
