Established by Mariano Garcia, former head winemaker at Vega Sicilia for thirty years, and Javier Zaccagnini, ex-head of the Ribera del Duero Consejo Regulador, Aalto is one of Spain’s great success stories. It sits comfortably in the pantheon of Ribera del Duero stars and has the global demand to boot. What sets it apart from the rest is the team’s ability to select highest quality Tempranillo, which comes from seven different villages spread across the region, and from vines averaging 40-80 years of age. Over two decades, the team has focused entirely on producing the highest quality Tempranillo possible and leveraged their little black book of contacts to secure the very best fruit in the region. This ensures the wine has exquisite fruit flavour and huge complexity given the diversity of soils the grapes are taken from. It is a wines of beauty and personality and offers exceptional value for its pedigree.Read less
