Aalto 2012

HED88224 75cl 14.5%
Aalto 2012 is a full-bodied red wine produced from Tempranillo grapes in the Ribera del Duero region of Spain. Aalto Bodegas y Viñedos was established in 1999 in Ribera del Duero, currently one of Spain’s most prestigious wine regions. Aalto is a partnership between Javier Zaccagnini and winemaker Mariano García, who worked at the iconic Vega Sicilia for 30 years. The standard Aalto red wine spends 20 months in oak, 50% of which is new French wood, with the remainder in older French and American barrels. "This red shows focus and density, with rich flavours of plum, blackberry, cocoa, liquorice and mineral. The structure is muscular but graceful, featuring ripe fruit complemented by savoury notes that keep this balanced and fresh. Best from 2016 through 2032." Wine Enthusiast, 2015

Aalto

In 1999, Mariano García and Javier Zaccagnini founded Aalto with the vision of creating world-class wines in Ribera del Duero. Mariano, a former winemaker at Vega Sicilia, and Javier, once the head of the Ribera del Duero regulatory council, bring unparalleled expertise to the project. Aalto's vineyards, comprising 130 hectares of old Tinto Fino vines, are scattered across nine municipalities, ensuring rich diversity in their wines. The modern winery in Quintanilla de Arriba, designed with minimalist elegance, utilizes gravity flow for gentle handling of the grapes. Aalto's wines, known for their depth, balance, and aging potential, reflect the true character of their prestigious region.
