This is the new 2023 vintage of "Aalto", crafted by Mariano García – the former legendary winemaker of "Vega Sicilia", who became a living icon of Spanish winemaking during his three decades there.
The bouquet is dominated by aromas of cherry and raspberry, complemented by subtle spicy oak notes that emerge from 18 months of aging in French and American oak barrels. On the palate, the wine is firmly structured yet features a soft, plush profile, where concentrated fruit accents intertwine with a silky tannic mouthfeel and a long-lasting, spicy finish.
This wine is made from old 'Tinta Fina' (Tempranillo) vines, ranging from 40 to 80 years of age. It originates from the Ribera del Duero region, renowned for its limestone, clay, and gravel soils. The wine has the potential to age for another 10–15 years, during which it will develop even more complex aromas of leather, tobacco, and vanilla.
Serve at a temperature of 14-16°C. Ideal with beef or lamb steaks, especially grilled, as well as game dishes.
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.
