Aalto 2012
Descripción
Un tinto que se nutre exclusivamente de viñas viejas localizadas en varios municipios de la denominación Ribera del Duero, seleccionadas personalmente por Mariano García. Aalto es finura, redondez y madurez. Elegante y complejo en todo momento, está considerado como uno de los mejores tintos del país. Un vino para presumir en una buena mesa.

Opinión de los críticos
"2011 Aalto is the cuvee produced with Tempranillo grapes from nine villages across Ribera del Duero, some in Valladolid and the majority in Burgos. It was fermented with indigenous yeasts and was aged for 20 months in 50% new barrels and 50% used ones. Most of the oak is from France, but 15% of the barriques are made of American wood. The wine shows the house style of ripe, exuberant and well-oaked reds, with some lactic hints and surprisingly, fresh red fruit intermixed with the aromas of riper, darker fruit and plenty of spicy oak, developing pine needle-like notes with time in the glass, and later, ripe peach. The palate is medium to full-bodied with abundant, fine-grained, slightly dusty tannins. It shows good balance and moderate acidity ending with some lactic flavors. 230,000 bottles produced. I tasted from half bottles (that is not ideal), which are not sold, only used for tastings. The wine evolves quickly once the bottle is opened, so I think this ripe vintage should be drunk in the shorter term. Drink now-2017".

Armonía impecable entre la fruta, la madera y la acidez. Aterciopelado.
