𝗔𝗔𝗟𝗧𝗢, Ribera del Duero, Spain. A collaboration of stalwarts of Spanish winemaking, Aalto is the coming together of the Masaveu and Nozaleda families, Javier Zaccagnini, and winemaker Mariano Garcia, who has 30 years under his belt as technical director of Vega Sicilia.
Aalto produces wines focused on Tinto Fino meticulously grown and selectively harvested from over 130 hectares of old vines ranging 40 to 100 years old.
The primary cuvée, 𝗔𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗼, gets about 50% new oak, while the rest sees 2nd and 3rd-fill barrels. In the best vintages, a selection from the best sites is bottled as 𝗔𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗼 𝗣𝗦 – 𝙋𝙖𝙜𝙤𝙨 𝙎𝙚𝙡𝙚𝙘𝙘𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙖𝙙𝙤𝙨, i.e., select estates, and undergoes extended ageing in entirely in new French oak. Both wines have great ageing potential.
