| Sommy Pairing Beschrijving | Deze Aalto 2021 presenteert rijp zwart fruit, zoethout en cacao naast rokerige, vanille- en cederachtige houttonen, met een weelderige, glanzende mondvulling, fijne tannines en een subtiele lacticiteit die de smaak diepte en volheid geeft. Daardoor vormt hij een uitstekende match bij rundvlees, lam, wild en barbecue omdat de rijke fruitigheid en stevige tannines het vet en de umami van geroosterd vlees doorstaan en de rokerige en sojagerelateerde aroma's harmonieus aansluiten bij gegrilde en gerookte smaken. Kies voor gegrilde of licht gekruide steaks en lamskoteletjes, langzaam geroosterd wild met jeneverbessen of een soya-geglazuurde barbecuebereiding zoals eend of spareribs om de houttonen en de rijpe fruitigheid van de wijn het best tot hun recht te laten komen. |

The eponymous red 2021 Aalto has a lactic touch and is spicy, smoky and ripe, with notes of barbecued duck, soy sauce and a touch of truffle. It's heady, ripe (14.5% alcohol), has a luxurious mouthfeel and is glossy and juicy, with abundant but fine-grained tannins and low-ish acidity. For fans of the style. Quite consistent across vintages. 330,000 bottles. It was bottled in July 2023.
Aalto keeps faithful to the ripe, powerful and generously oaked profile that made its red wines famous. But their white is the opposite—sharp and fresh, with unnoticeable oak. They control 130 hectares of old vines in nine villages of Ribera del Duero with which they produce 380,000 bottles annually.

From: Ribera del Duero: A Shifting Frontier for Spanish Wine (Nov 2023)
The 2021 Aalto is a 100% Tempranillo from Ribera del Duero and was aged for up to two years in French and American barrels. Garnet-red with a purple sheen. Cedar and vanilla lead the nose, followed by blackcurrant, blackberry and subtle herbal notes in the background. The palate is indulgent and creamy, with a classic 'reserva' profile but distinctively light on its feet for a Ribera del Duero wine. The 2021 Aalto is a long-lasting, juicy, subtly chalky red.
- By Joaquín Hidalgo on September 2023
Established in 1999 by Javier Zaccanini and the legendary winemaker Mariano García, Aalto was a bold step into the modern era for Ribera del Duero. The concrete and glass winery, completed in 2005, runs on gravity and boasts expansive barrel rooms. The Masaveu and Nozaleda families, who have long histories in Spanish winemaking, joined the venture in 2006. Harvesting from 130 hectares of old vines spread across 200 plots in nine municipalities, Aalto crafts reds with a rich but delicate structure. Their PS takes things up a notch, emphasizing power and opulence. Their Blanco de Parcela explores the possibilities of Verdejo and Godello, pushing the limits for whites in the region. Aalto is very much the embodiment of a modern Ribera del Duero winery.

More information about Aalto
Javier Zaccagnini was president of the 'Consejo Regulador' in Ribera del Duero for 6 years. As a result, both have good contacts and ties of friendship with the prominent owners of sufficient, unique vineyards in the best villages of the Ribera del Duero appellation. These owners are today suppliers of the finest Tinto Fino for Aalto and Aalto PS. Both gentlemen are true perfectionists, nothing is left to fate. Bodegas Aalto has approximately 42 hectares of vineyards, of which 32 hectares are planted with blue grape varieties.
The grapes undergo a selection test at the Table de tri. At the slightest irregularity, the bunch of grapes are completely discarded. Afterwards, everything runs according to gravity, so that abrupt actions of the wine pumps disappear, Mariano and Javier want to design plans for the winery themselves. After a 30-month supply in exclusively French oak, the selection is made between Aalto and Aalto PS. Their objective is to vinify a wine that reaches the highest quality status within 20 years.
