Description

Aalto Ribera del Duero DO 2021 vynas tvirtos struktūros, elegantiškas ir puikiai subalansuotas, pasižymintis švelniu, minkštu skonio profiliu. Vyne dominuoja koncentruoti raudonų uogų aromatai, kuriuos papildo subtilios prieskoniškos ąžuolo natos. 

Vynas padarytas iš senų vynmedžių uogų, kurių amžius svyruoja nuo 40 iki 80 metų, brandintas 18 mėnesių prancūziško ir amerikietiško ąžuolo statinėse. Šis procesas suteikia vynui dar daugiau sudėtingumo ir išraiškingumo, o jo unikalus profilis atspindi ilgametę meistriškumo tradiciją.

Wine Spectator

A graceful, enticing red, with appealing hints of violet, eucalyptus, tea rose and tar wafting through the flavors of ripe black currant and mulberry fruit, melted licorice and mocha. Long, focused and harmonious, with deft integration of the sinewy tannins and refreshing acidity, this glides across the palate and echoes on the spiced finish.

About brand

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.

Flagship Wines

Bodegas Aalto produces two main labels:

  • Aalto – the core wine, aged in oak barrels (approximately 30–70% new oak). These wines are complex and impeccably balanced.
  • Aalto PS (Pagos Seleccionados) – the flagship wine, made only in selected vintages from the finest individual vineyards. Aged entirely in new French oak, it typically shows greater structure and outstanding aging potential.

Recognition and Accolades

  • Bodegas Aalto frequently appears among the Top 100 wineries worldwide, as ranked by critics Michel Bettane and Thierry Desseauve.
  • Leading critics, including Robert Parker and Wine Spectator, consistently award high scores—often 90+ points—to both Aalto and Aalto PS wines.
