Characteristics Aalto

Aalto is a red wine from the D.O Ribera del Duero produced by the winery Aalto. The grapes used to produce Aalto, originate from very old wines between 40-80 years of age, and young vines. The grapes come from 2 fields owned by the winery and other distributors from 7 towns in Ribera del Duero.

The harvest is completed by hand in October. The grapes are then transported to the wines in small boxes (15kg max) to avoid the grapes breaking and loosing freshness.
The grapes are subsequently chose from an extensive search for the best quality on the sorting table.
After the various process methods, Aalto is fermented and aged for 20 months in new and semi-new French and American oak barrels.

Aalto aged very well in the bottle and can be consumed in the next 15-20 years. It is recommended to decant before serving to enjoy it to its fullest potential.
Aalto is a wine with great national and international acknowledgements. The wine has won many awards and received high scores from the most prestigious of judges.

Tasting notes Aalto

Aalto 2016 is a deep red wine that is powerful and concentrated. Another very good vintage for this extraordinary wine, which is expressed on the nose with distinction with aromas of ripe black fruit, and elegant toasted and spicy notes over a subtle mineral base note. On the plate it has a voluminous entry, is silky, with volume and structure and a very lingering and pleasant finish.

This 2015 vintage, which is qualified as excellent, is one of the essential ones to understand Aalto. An optimum degree of maturity for the extraction of elements has favoured a good ageing in the barrels. As a result, we have a wine with a concentrated profile, where the black fruit perfectly combines with the spices provided by its ageing. An essential for those who love opulent wines.

Fresh and intense, sweet tannins and well-balanced. Persistent finish and a constant fruity reminiscence.

Intense cherry red, clean and bright.

Strong presence of fruity notes on a liquorice base. Mineral undertones and characteristics of the ageing process presented by the barrel.

Ample, powerful, ripe but with a very good acidity throughout. Fleshy and fine tannins. An extraordinarily long finish.

Picota cherry colour with a good colour intensity that tints the glass.

Powerful and heady ripe red and black fruit aromas, vegetable notes and hints of spicy tones.

High integration between the fruit, wood and alcohol. Very polished tannins. A very flavourful and balanced wine.

Very intense colour, of the highly aged, Tinto Fino variety.

Very fresh aromas: flowers and fruit that are well blended with wood notes: liquorice, incense and spices.

Elegant, very tasty and concentrated wine with an excellent, very bulky attack and a silky texture. It shows a long, very intense mid palate with notes of fleshy fruit wrapped in the creaminess provided by the aromas of sweet spices, bitter cocoa and fresh liquorice. It has nice noticeable tannins, a fresh and balanced acidity and a very long and persistent finish with very pleasant toasted aromas. A concentrated, complex and friendly wine. The pleasure of a great wine.

Intense deep dark cherry colour. Well covered. Clean wine with elegant dense slow-falling tears.

Very intense, seductive and complex aromas. Its notes of quite ripe red and black fruit are released along with very intense noble wooden hints wrapped in a range of spicy aromas of vanilla, black chocolate, liquorice and Havana cigars. Its balsamic aromas and its subtle mineral touches round out this great wine.

This deep and elegant Aalto 2008 has a broad and bulky attack. It has a very tasty, smooth and fleshy mid palate, full of intense flavours, with a good presence of notes of black fruit, snuff, toffee, chocolate and licorice and a very well integrated mineral touch. Very tasty tannins, still marked but pleasant in the palate. Long and lingering finish with a balsamic and mineral aftertaste. A concentrated, complex and nice wine.

Intense cherry colour. Bright. Dense tears.

Intense aromas. The good notes of wood stand out in the foreground. When it opens up, its multiple flavours become huge and complex. Many notes of black fruit are noticed along with coffee, black chocolate, licorice, tobacco and fresh balsamic touches on an elegant mineral background. A world of sensations that gradually form a rounded wine.

Broad and dense attack. Aalto is a tasty wine, with a silky mid palate, and succulent flavors. Balanced and harmonious, with ripe tannins and refreshing acidity. Long and persistent.

Very dark, deep cherry colour, good robe.

Wine of great intensity and aromatic complexity. Ripe black fruit notes appear along with complex aromas provided by the oak such as spices, roasted and liquorice.

Bodied wine, powerful and unctuous tannins.

Very dark sour cherry color, high layer.

Intense aromas of ripe black fruit and background of toasted oak, spices and mineral notes.

Others wines Aalto

Aalto was founded in February of 1999 by Mariano García —who for 30 years was the technical director and oenologist of Vega Sicilia— and Javier Zaccagnini —who was the Director of the Regulatory Council of D.O. Ribera del Duero for 6 years— when they both decided to join their abilities and experience to start a unique project. Their aim was to produce wines that, from the first moment, showed a differentiated personality, where the power and the structure with constitute their elegance and complexity. Nowadays, and since it was founded in 1999, Aalto Bodegas y Viñedos has continued its unstoppable path and has been able to place its wines among the best ones in the world.
