Issue 255 End of June 2021, The Wine Advocate
The 2018 Aalto reflects the cooler conditions of the year, with a more austere profile, subtle aromas and a harmonious palate. This is a classic example of modern, ripe and well-oaked Tempranillo from Ribera del Duero, which this year feels creamy, juicy and balanced. This follows the path of 2017 with integrated oak (they used only around 20% new oak) and a lively palate in a more drinkable and approachable style. They added some new vineyards from the zone of Boada where the soils are red and the wines bring freshness and lots of fruit. The wine had a shorter maceration with the skins and a softer vinification. This is finer and more balanced, with finesse but still very much recognizable as Aalto. 300,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in July 2020.
They have a new white first produced in 2019 and a non-vintage red blend to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the winery. They are also going to release small lots of library releases. The 2018s reflect the cooler year and show more integrated oak, following the path of the 2017.

Aalto was founded in 1999 by Mariano Garcia and Javier Zaccagnini. Mariano Garcia, can look back on a thirty-year career at the famous Vega Sicilia, and is generally regarded as Spain's number 1 winemaker. Thanks to him, Vega Sicilia has acquired name and fame.
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.
