Aalto is a powerful Ribera del Duero red from Mariano García, Vega Sicilia's winemaker for 30 years, made from 100% Tinto Fino (Tempranillo) grown on vines 40 to 100 years old across nine villages.

Deep ruby with violet hues, it shows ripe dark plum, blackcurrant and black cherry, with graphite, toasted oak and a hint of violet.

Rich and mouth-filling yet balanced by fresh acidity and a chalky, mineral frame, it finishes long with dark berry and spice.

A wine for chargrilled ribeye, braised lamb or Peking duck.

Tasting notes
▾

Deep ruby red with violet hues. Bold and concentrated nose of ripe dark plum, blackcurrant, and black cherry with notes of graphite, toasted oak, and subtle floral violet. Rich and mouthfilling on the palate with powerful dark fruit flavours supported by well-integrated tannins from French and American oak ageing. Despite its concentration, the wine maintains excellent balance with good acidity and a chalky mineral framework. Long and complex finish with lingering flavours of dark berry, spice, and elegant oak character.
