About this wine

The Aalto XX Anniversary is a special edition wine released to commemorate the 20th anniversary of Bodegas Aalto. This limited-edition wine is made from carefully selected Tempranillo grapes sourced from old vines across the best parcels in the Ribera del Duero region. Aged in oak barrels for an extended period, this wine exhibits exceptional depth, complexity, and aging potential. The Aalto XX Anniversary is characterized by its rich, full-bodied texture, balanced acidity, and robust tannins. It unfolds layers of dark fruit, spices, and toasted oak nuances leading to an elegantly long finish.

Aalto

The Aalto wine collection represents the pinnacle of Ribera del Duero winemaking, showcasing the full potential of the Tempranillo grape. With a focus on limited production and meticulous vineyard selection, the wines from Bodegas Aalto express the complexity, elegance, and power that the region's unique climate and soils can impart.

Bodegas Aalto

Bodegas Aalto is a prestigious Spanish winery in the Ribera del Duero DO, renowned for producing some of the most highly regarded wines in the region. The winery was founded in 1999 by Mariano García, former winemaker of Vega Sicilia, and Javier Zaccagnini, former head of the Consejo Regulador of the Ribera del Duero DO. Their partnership was formed with the goal of creating wines that would express the unique character of the Tinto Fino (Tempranillo) grape and the distinct terroirs of Ribera del Duero.
