Vinous on AALTO

Titre

Established in 1999 by Javier Zaccanini and the legendary winemaker Mariano García, Aalto was a bold step into the modern era for Ribera del Duero. The concrete and glass winery, completed in 2005, runs on gravity and boasts expansive barrel rooms. The Masaveu and Nozaleda families, who have long histories in Spanish winemaking, joined the venture in 2006. Harvesting from 130 hectares of old vines spread across 200 plots in nine municipalities, Aalto crafts reds with a rich but delicate structure. Their PS takes things up a notch, emphasizing power and opulence. Their Blanco de Parcela explores the possibilities of Verdejo and Godello, pushing the limits for whites in the region. Aalto is very much the embodiment of a modern Ribera del Duero winery.

Vinous, September 2023


The 2021 Aalto is a 100% Tempranillo from Ribera del Duero and was aged for up to two years in French and American barrels. Garnet-red with a purple sheen. Cedar and vanilla lead the nose, followed by blackcurrant, blackberry and subtle herbal notes in the background. The palate is indulgent and creamy, with a classic 'reserva' profile but distinctively light on its feet for a Ribera del Duero wine. The 2021 Aalto is a long-lasting, juicy, subtly chalky red.

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. Drink now through 2036.
