PRE-SALE WINE DELIVERY IS SCHEDULED FOR THE END OF APRIL.
This is the peak of the Aalto estate – "PS" (Pagos Seleccionadas) is crafted exclusively from the oldest and finest vineyard plots (pagos), selected from the villages of La Horra and La Aguilera, ensuring unparalleled concentration and depth.
The wine's bouquet reveals an intensely complex sea of black berries, ripe plums, and liquorice, enriched by luxurious notes of roasted coffee, dark chocolate, and subtle hints of spice and graphite.
On the palate, the wine boasts a monumental structure and full body, where powerful yet velvety tannins intertwine with concentrated fruitiness.
This character is formed in the unique Ribera del Duero terroir, dominated by limestone and clay soils. To achieve maximum expressiveness, the wine is aged for 18–21 months exclusively in new French oak barrels.
Serve at 14-16°C with beef steaks, lamb and game stews, and roasts.
Bodegas Aalto (official name — Aalto Bodegas y Viñedos) was founded in 1999 by two prominent figures in the wine world: Mariano García, long-time technical director at Vega Sicilia, and Javier Zaccagnini, then director of the Ribera del Duero appellation. Their goal was to create wines with a clear individual identity that reflect the diversity of terroirs while achieving maximum complexity and balance.
In 2006, the Masaveu and Nozaleda families—bringing extensive experience in the wine industry—joined the project.
Wines and Strategy
Bodegas Aalto manages approximately 130 hectares of old-vine (40–100 years) ‘Tinto Fino’ (Tempranillo) vineyards, divided into more than 200 individual plots across nine municipalities in the Ribera del Duero region. These sites encompass a wide range of soil types and microclimates, enabling the creation of complex, multi-layered wine blends.
Grapes are grown without herbicides or chemical fertilizers, under strict quality standards, and yields are kept low—resulting in wines of exceptional intensity and concentration.
Winery and Winemaking Philosophy
The winery’s first production facility was leased in Roa (1999–2004). Later, a purpose-built winery was constructed in Quintanilla de Arriba, with the first phase completed in 2005 and a second expansion in 2016. The architecture is modern and minimalist, seamlessly integrated into the surrounding landscape.
Winemaking combines advanced fermentation technologies (stainless steel, concrete, and oak) with a strong focus on grape authenticity and minimal intervention.
