100% Tempranillo.

Aalto behoort tot de beste wijnen uit Ribera del Duero

Robert Parker: "Aalto is the creation of one of the great former winemakers of  V. Sicilia."

De Aalto wijngaarden liggen 2 km verwijderd van Vega Sicilia en grenzen aan Dominio de Pingus.

Aalto heeft 18 maanden gerijpt op Frans eiken en heeft aardse tonen en aroma's van cassis, kersen, rook, cacao, leer, een vleugje kruiden en fijne tannines. Lange indrukwekkende afdronk.
Op dronk, maar kan zich tenminste tot 2026 nog verder ontwikkelen.

The Wine Advocate: (2018 is nog niet beschreven)

"The 2017 Aalto was a surprise for the vintage. They had to select the grapes from their own vineyards, and they produced less wine. It feels a little lighter and fresher, more approachable at this point in time. The oak also seems to be more integrated. It's a very drinkable Aalto in its style. They only used some 20% new oak and possibly did a softer vinification. It's approachable now, but it should also develop nicely in bottle, as the year had more acidity.
