Product Description
Details
This is the new vintage of Aalto, a highly prestigious Spanish red wine produced in Ribera del Duero.
Crafted by the renowned winemaker Mariano García, this varietal Tinto Fino (Tempranillo) is made from old-vines 40 to over 100 years old.
Harvest was carried out manually. After a meticulous selection that took place both in the vineyard and in the cellar, the grapes were separately vinified according to their plot of origin.
The alcoholic fermentation and maceration of this red wine from Ribera del Duero were carried out inside truncated cone-shaped stainless steel vats. After that, the best wine musts were transferred into French and American oak barrels, where they went through malolactic fermentation.
Subsequently, Aalto 2021, produced by Bodegas y Viñedos Aalto, was aged for 17 months in the barrels. Before its commercial release, it was aged for a further months in the bottle.
We suggest that you decant this Reserva red wine a minimum of 1 hour before drinking.

I've always considered this to be one of Spain's great wines. Flawlessly precise with immense natural power, it will live for decades to come.

In a word: world-class. Maybe not yet. But it will sure be in 5-10 years.
