Aalto PS (Pagos Seleccionados) 2022 750 ml

Description:

From the celebrated Ribera del Duero region of Spain, Aalto PS (Pagos Seleccionados) is a flagship bottling by Bodegas Aalto, a renowned project founded in 1999 by Mariano García—former winemaker at Vega Sicilia—and Javier Zaccagnini. The winery is recognized for its precision in viticulture and crafting wines with power, elegance, and longevity from old-vine Tempranillo.

Wine Description
The 2022 vintage of Aalto PS is a commanding expression of Tempranillo, showing intense, opaque purple hues in the glass. Aromas are layered and luxurious, with ripe blackberries, cassis, espresso, crushed violets, and a touch of balsamic lift. On the palate, it is full-bodied and richly structured, delivering concentrated flavours of dark fruit, dark chocolate, liquorice, and toasted oak, supported by finely grained tannins. The finish is enduring and polished, reflecting both the depth of the old vines and the meticulous élevage.
