2010 Bodegas Aalto Ribera del Duero DO

Producer Notes

The Aalto project was founded in February 1999, when Mariano Garcia, winemaker at Vega Sicilia for 30 years joined forces with Javier Zaccagnini, the director of the D.O Ribera del Duero. Their aim was to make wine from low yielding, tinto fino vines which are grown without herbicides or chemical fertilisers with a sharp focus on quality. With just over 100 hectares of vines now under their control, all worked by hand, this winery has become achieved a lot of prestige not only in Spain but throughout the world and with only two wines under their belt: Aalto and Aalto PS (Pagos Selecionados).
