Richly-fruited yet finely etched, the 2022 Aalto Aalto layers ripe black cherry and blackberry with notes of cedar, vanilla, licorice and a touch of wild herbs. Full-bodied and concentrated, it glides on creamy, well-knit tannins and bright acidity, giving a long, polished finish that feels both hedonistic and poised for evolution.

Aalto is the flagship Tempranillo (Tinto Fino) of Aalto Bodegas y Viñedos in Ribera del Duero, crafted from very old vines (roughly 40–100 years) spread across multiple high-quality villages in Burgos and Valladolid. Typically powerful yet polished, it’s known for dense dark fruit, marked but elegant oak from French and American barrels, and serious structure and depth, making it a modern, ageworthy benchmark for the region distinct from the even more concentrated Aalto PS cuvée.
