Aalto 2021 is a critically acclaimed wine that hails from the prestigious Ribera del Duero region, known for its powerful Tempranillo grapes. Founded in 1999, Aalto represents a new wave of winemaking in Ribera del Duero. The winery combines innovative techniques with a deep respect for tradition. The 2021 Aalto is a pure expression of Tempranillo, locally known as Tinto Fino. The grapes undergo meticulous selection and fermentation before spending 18 months aging in a combination of French and American oak barrels. Expect a captivating bouquet of fresh red fruits like strawberries and raspberries, mingling with hints of spice, vanilla, and underlying minerality.
The palate is full-bodied and expressive. A burst of ripe fruit flavors meets beautifully integrated tannins, leading to a long, fresh finish with balanced acidity.
