Product Description
Details

This is the Magnum bottling of Aalto PS (Pagos Seleccionados) of Bodegas Aalto, an already legendary Spanish red wine from DO Ribera del Duero crafted by Mariano García, one of Spain's most prestigious winemakers

It is sourced from two Tinto Fino (Tempranillo) vineyards 60 to 90 years old, located in La Horra and Aguilera, in the province of Burgos.

The grapes were meticulously harvested by hand at dawn, sorted twice and fully destemmed. Then the best grapes fermented in stainless steel tanks under controlled temperature.

The malolactic fermentation of this red wine from Ribera del Duero was carried out in new French oak barrels. After that, the wine Aalto PS 2022 Magnum was aged for 20 months in the barrels. It was bottled in September 2024.

This impressive Crianza red wine is produced only in exceptional vintages. It should evolve nicely in the bottle.

Decant this red wine from Ribera del Duero at least 2 hours before drinking.

Additional Information
Appearance

The red wine Aalto PS is deep purple with some ruby and indigo reflections.

Nose

This varietal Tinto Fino is ripe, lush and creamy. Sumptuous aromas of exotic spices, chocolate and fine wood, with intoxicating suggestions of sour cherries and wild berries, undergrowth and liquorice, punctuated by some mineral and earthy remembrances.

Palate

This wine of Bodegas Aalto is ripe, sensuous and generously oaked, with a lavish texture, a gently toasted core and a lively acidity. Amazing concentration of black fruit, with dusty tannins and a very long finish with a chalky and spicy aftertaste.

Our personal opinion

In quality and style, the red wine Aalto PS 2022 Magnum bears comparison with top-notch Cab. Sauvignon wines from Napa, some truly great Bordeaux reds and the best Syrah wines from Eden Valley.
