Aalto 2019-2020 75cl

100% Tempranillo.

Aalto wijn behoort tot de beste wijnen uit Ribera del Duero

Parker: Aalto is the creation of one of the great former winemakers of  V. Sicilia.
De Aalto wijngaarden liggen 2 km verwijderd van V. Sicilia en grenzen aan Dominio de Pingus.

Aalto heeft 18 maanden gerijpt op Frans eiken.
Zwartpurper, aards, met aromas van cassis, kersen, rook, cacao, leer, een vleugje kruiden en fijne tannines. Lange indrukwekkende afdronk.
Op dronk, maar kan zich tenminste tot 2027 nog verder ontwikkelen.

Wine Advocate over jaargang 2018

'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'
