Aalto PS Ribera del Duero DO 2021 - išskirtinis vynas, kuris puikiai atspindi Ribera del Duero regiono 2021-ųjų metų vintažą. Vyno platumas burnoje ir išraiškingas poskonis, kartu su puikiai subalansuotais taninais, suteikia vynui gilumą ir pilnumą burnoje. Brandinimas ąžuolo statinėse 21 mėnesį leidžia atsiskleisti platesniems niuansams, kurie praturtina vyno skonį ir kvapą.
Vynas pagamintas iš senų vynmedžių (dauguma 60 - 90 metų senumo) uogų, rinktų išskirtiniuose La Horra ir La Aguilera ploteliuose. Pagrindinės šio vyno kvapų natos: juodos nokios uogos, kurios subtiliai susilieja su prieskonišku ąžuolo ir minerališkumo dvelksmu, sukurdamos daugiasluoksnį aromatą.
Vynas ne tik išlaiko eleganciją ir vaisiškumą, bet ir turi potencialą ilgainiui tapti dar kompleksingesnis, todėl puikiai tinka ilgalaikiam brandinimui.
Pagaminta tik 35 000 butelių.
Tiekti 16°C, prie jautienos didkepsnių, ėrienos ir žvėrienos troškinių, kepsnių.
The 2021 PS has a similar profile as the regular Aalto but with a little bit more of everything, more ripeness—playing dangerously with overripeness—and alcohol (15%), more concentration and power and also more oak that reveals itself in the shape or aromas of fried corn. It's powerful and tannic, in need of years in bottle and/or powerful food. This is very good in its style, impeccably crafted and aged in the best barrels money can buy. 35,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in September 2023.
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.
