Description
From Verdejo vines planted at 800m altitude in the Ribera del Duero region, Aalto Blanco de Parcela is a beautiful white wine from a renowned producer. Bright yellow in colour, with intense aromas of ripe stone fruit and citrus, as well as a toastiness from the oak. On the palate, there is freshness, minerality and a long citrussy finish.
The Aalto project was founded in February 1999, in the prestigious winemaking region of Ribera del Duero, Spain. The foundational aim of Mariano Garcia and Javier Zaccagnini was to make a wine that shows a different personality, of high quality and being a faithful reflection of distinct locations, blending them at the end of the aging process to obtain balance and complexity. A few years later, in 2006, the Masaveu and Nozaleda families joined Aalto, both owners of wineries in other regions of Spain, providing experience and stability to the project, which meant the consolidation of the winery to this day. Now with twenty vintages under their belts and a highly detailed understanding of the scores of parcels of old vines they own, Aalto has well and truly established itself as one of the great wines of both Ribera del Duero and Spain in general.
Food matches: Pairs wonderfully with rich fish dishes and garlic prawns.
