Vinification:

Handernte und sorgfältige Auslese. Der Rotwein aus Spanien wird 19 Monate in neuen französischen Eichenholzfässern ausgebaut.

Tasting note:

Der Charakter zeigt sich in einem dichten Violett mit kräftigen Holznoten in der Nase, die durch schwarze Kirsche, Pflaumen und Gewürze unterstrichen wird. Am Gaumen erhalten wir ein konzentriertes, voluminöses und dichten Trinkgenuss mit einem lang anhaltenden und persistentem Abgang. Ist schon recht ausgewogen, braucht aber sicher noch einige Jahre Ruhe bis er zur Höchstform auflaufen kann.

Bodegas Aalto:

The AALTO project was launched in February 1999, in the famous Ribera del Duero wine region (Spain). The fundamental objective for Mariano García and Javier Zaccagnini was to produce a particularly high-quality wine with a distinctive character through AALTO, reflecting an honest image of the diversity of the environment and bringing it together at the end of the ageing process to achieve the right balance and complexity.

A few years later, in 2006, the Masaveu and Nozaleda families joined AALTO. They own their own bodegas in other wine-growing regions in Spain and enriched the project with their expertise and the necessary stability, which ultimately contributed to the consolidation of the bodega to this day.

From the beginning in 1999 until the 2004 harvest, the wines were produced in rented facilities in Roa (Burgos). While the project was being consolidated, the search began for a new location for the new winery. A beautiful 15-hectare plot of land belonging to the municipality of Quintanilla de Arriba (Valladolid) was chosen.

The first phase in the new bodega was completed in 2005. This was the first harvest to be carried out in these facilities. The modern design of this new bodega is based exclusively on the highest quality standards. The architectural design of the bodega is fully integrated into the surroundings, in an area that is particularly characteristic of the Ribera del Duero, with a simple and harmonious design, far from any ostentation, with minimalist, elegant and comfortable details. The second phase - the more public part - was completed in 2016.
