Red wine Aalto 22

VINTAGE:
We started the agricultural year with a water deficit from the previous season. Autumn passed with mild temperatures and little rainfall. The year 2022 began with higher temperatures than usual, until mid-January the sudden drop in nighttime temperatures did not arrive, causing strong frosts and sunny mid-days. This situation lasted until the end of February. Between January and February, rainfall was very scarce (less than 20 liters).
March said goodbye with instability, cool weather, and some rains that helped alleviate the drought that the field was suffering from. Spring began with a drop in temperatures, causing the sprouting to be delayed and allowing us to save the spring frosts period. In mid-May, a heatwave with temperatures up to 30ºC occurred, making it one of the driest months of May in the last decade. June and July were characterized by intense heatwaves, without rain, becoming the warmest months on record. The harvest began in early September.
HARVEST:100% Tinto Fino (Tempranillo) mostly from very old vines - aged between 40 and 80 years - from vineyards in nine different municipalities in the Burgos and Valladolid regions.
The harvest is done by hand, in small 15-kilo boxes that we meticulously inspect, grape by grape, on a selection table.
TASTING NOTES:Aalto 2022 presents in the glass with an elegant purple color.
On the nose, it expresses the aromatic potential of Tinto Fino with its red fruits and hints of licorice. Aging in barrel provides spicy notes on the nose and a silky touch with good acidity on the palate, inviting us to have another glass.
