Product Notes

Aalto Ribera del Duero is an exquisite Spanish red wine, famed for its full-bodied, gracious taste profile. Originating from Spain's premium Ribera del Duero region, it pervades the senses with luscious dark fruit flavours, underpinned by subtle spice notes. Fashioned primarily from Tempranillo grapes, it carries rich hints of black cherry, vanilla, and toasted oak. Its generous tannins make it robust while maintaining a decadent smooth finish. The beautifully balanced acidity resonates with complex ageing potential. Aalto's masterful crafting is evident in every sip, with a charisma that captivates both casual wine sippers and experienced sommeliers. An elegant treat for any occasion.

Tasting Notes

Intense red color. This wine is highly complex on the nose. Predominantly aromas of well ripened red fruit and notes of liquorice and spices emerge. On the palate this wine is fresh, long, and meaty with a persistent structure of sweet and elegant tannins.

About the Winery

Aalto

Established at the turn of the 21st century, Aalto winery is a joint venture between Mariano García and Javier Zaccagnini in the vineyard-rich region of Ribera del Duero, Spain. The winery is named after the Finnish architect, Alvar Aalto, whose elegant and timeless design philosophies are imbued in the winery's operations.

Aalto winery is predominantly known for its production of one key varietal, the Tempranillo grape. The winery's vineyards, spread across an extensive 200 hectares, are home to an impressive selection of mature Tempranillo vines, aging between 40 to 100 years old. This surely contributes strongly to the profound depth and complexity found in Aalto's wines.

The unique climate of Ribera del Duero, characterised by long, chilly winters and short, hot summers, coupled with the high altitude and diverse soil types of the region all play a significant role in shaping the character of Aalto's wines. Each bottle truly encapsulates the essence of its terroir, exhibiting intense, dark fruit flavours with beautifully balanced acidity and notable structure.

The winemaking process entails thorough respect for traditional viticultural practices. However, this is bolstered by the inclusion of modern winemaking technologies to further refine their wines. This produces beautifully crafted wines that speak volumes about the region's quality and potential,

The partnership of García and Zaccagnini has undoubtedly formed the cornerstone of Aalto's success. Their combined experience and passion has propelled Aalto winery to international acclaim, with their wines garnering many prestigious awards. Today, Aalto's red wines are considered to be amongst Spain's finest, being praised globally for their superb quality and undeniable charm.

In essence, Aalto winery beckons a visit from every wine connoisseur for its remarkable offering of richly flavoured, elegantly structured wines that reflect the heart and soul of Ribera del Duero; they have proven that they are more than just producers, they are artisans, nurturing every grape from vine to glass.
