Product Notes

Aalto Ribera del Duero is a Spanish red wine that is adored by wine connoisseurs all over the world, especially those who appreciate a high-end, deep, and full-bodied variety. This wine is produced from the Tempranillo grape variety, which is exclusively grown in the Ribera del Duero region of Spain. Aalto Ribera del Duero has a captivating intensity and depth which is attributed to the vines being cultivated in the unique climate of the region, around the Duero River. This area offers the grapes hot summers, cold winters, and rugged landscapes, resulting in grapes with powerful flavours, rich tannins, and a full-bodied character. Aalto Ribera del Duero wine is ideal for special occasions in which you want to impress guests with its quality and unique flavour.

Tasting Notes

Intense red color. This wine is highly complex on the nose. Predominantly aromas of well ripened red fruit and notes of liquorice and spices emerge. On the palate this wine is fresh, long, and meaty with a persistent structure of sweet and elegant tannins.

About the Winery

Aalto

Located in Spain’s premium winemaking region of Ribera del Duero, the Aalto Winery, is not just yet another wine label that you would come across in the country. It is a project that has come together, thanks to the passion and determination of many like-minded winemaking enthusiasts. Aalto was established in 1999, due to the efforts of Mariano Garcia and Javier Zaccagnini. This project aimed to make wines that were distinct and true representations of the rich terroirs of this place. 

In 2006, this project received a huge impetus when the experienced winemaking families of Masaveu and Nozaleda joined Aalto to lend intensity, complexity and balance to the wines crafted here. Until 2004, the production of Aalto wines took place in some rented locations in Roa, located in Burgos. However, post-2004, the project had grown big and popular enough to have its own winery. So, a new facility was set up in the 15-hectare plot, located in the Municipality of Quintanilla de Arriba.

State-of-the-art technology and excellent architecture were the key features of this new winery. The best part of this building is that it is designed in line with the natural elements of the environment. This beautiful winery's second and final phase was completed in 2016 to make it more socially viable than before. 

Aalto has 130 hectares of vineyards, located across the Ribera del Duero appellation, under its control.  The details of the vineyards are:

  • Quintanilla de Arriba – 800m tall vines; limestone soils
  • La Aguilera – 900m tall vines; calcareous soils
  • Fresnillo – 850m tall vines; sandstone soils
  • Valbuena de Duero – 750m tall vines; clay and alluvial soils
  • Moradillo – 950m tall vines; stony and fluvial soils
  • Banos de Valdearados – 900m tall vines; clayey and sandy soils
  • Pinel de Abajo – 800m tall vines; clay soils
  • La Horra Roa – 850m tall vines; clay and sandy soils
