Buy Wine from Aalto
Bodegas Aalto is a winery located in Quintanilla de Arriba (Valladolid) and produces under the D.O. Ribera del Duero. Recently created in 1998 by Mariano García (from Bodegas Mauro and previously engaged to Vega Sicilia) and Javier Zaccagnini, from Bodegas Ossian.
Bodegas Aalto has over 40 vineyard hectares if we consider the owned and the ones whose production is acquired, in different Ribera del Duero (Burgos and Valladolid) villages. Harvest is fulfilled during the lower sun radiation hours, manually, in small boxes that are quickly sent to the cellar thus avoiding pre-fermentation, besides using two selection tables for a best sieve of the product. Once at cellar, each plot will be treated separately to protect its identity up to the last blending stage.
Their philosophy is to produce only two wines in the most genuine Bordeaux style: Aalto, the vast bulk of sales, 100% Tinta Fina variety from old vines with very low performance that is fermented in truncated cone-shaped vats and afterwards aged in French and American oak barrels; some years, according to Javier Zaccagnini judgement and only from the best plots Aalto PS (selected plots) is produced, a wine that will not be distributed before almost 30 months ageing in barrel, which will need quite some time stored in bottle to express its full potential.
The winery nowadays produces 200.000 bottles per year.
