Aalto 2013 is a Ribera del Duero red wine crafted from Tempranillo grapes sourced from a selection of vineyards, primarily around La Horra. Established in 1999 by Javier Zaccagnini and Mariano García, Aalto has solidified its presence as a leading producer in the Spanish wine scene. The 2013 vintage Aalto showcases a combination of traditional methods and modern techniques, with grapes meticulously sorted in refrigerated conditions before vinification. Ageing occurs in French oak barriques for approximately 16-18 months, balancing new and used barrels. The wine presents concentrated dark fruit and earthy undertones, supported by structured tannins and sufficient acidity for longevity.
