Aalto 2020 is the confirmation, one more year, that this winery is already one of the greats of Ribera del Duero. Made only with tinto fino from very old vines and after 16 months in oak barrels, it is a friendly, complex, long and flavorful wine. A spectacle.
In 1999 Mariano García starts this project together with Javier Zaccagnini in Ribera del Duero to produce a wine of very high quality reflecting the diversity of terroirs in this D.O.
Aalto 2020 is a red wine with aging made from 100% Tinto Fino grapes. Manual harvest.
This vintage has been characterized by a very dry autumn and winter. The rainfall has been less than 60% of a normal year. The vineyard sprouted very early as the winter ended with unusually high temperatures. Later, at the end of April and beginning of May, a cold spell occurred that caused significant losses in the vineyard. To compensate, rains arrived at the end of August that facilitated the plant to finish its optimal maturation cycle.
The harvest began on September 19th. The grapes entered the winery in optimal sanitary conditions and with great quality.
Aalto ferments and ages for 16 months in new and semi-new barrels of French and American oak.
Aalto is ideal to accompany stews, roasted red meats, big game, roasted lamb, and duck.
It is recommended to serve at a temperature of 14-16ºC.
