Preludio de Sei Solo 2020 (Ribero del Duero) (Private Label Owner of Aalto)

Preludio de Sei Solo is a red wine from the Ribera del Duero region produced by Bodegas Sei Solo. It is made using only Tinto Fino (Tempranillo) grapes.

The grapes that are used to make Preludio de Sei Solo come from nine small plots situated in the locality of La Horra, in the province of Burgos. The vines, which are around 60-90 years old, are of a very low yield. Only 7,000 bottles of this wine are produced per vintage.

On arrival at the winery, the grapes are pass through the process of being desetemmed, followed by undergoing cold maceration. Then fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature in small wooden tanks with little capacity.

Finally, Preludio de Sei Solo is aged for 18 months in used oak barrels.

Sei Solo is the personal project of Javier Zaccagini: the ex-president of Consejo Regulador Ribera del Duero and co-founder of Aalto. The name of this wine pays hommage to one of the owner of the wineries favourite works: “Sei Solo a Violino senza Basso accompagnato” by Johann Sebastian Bach.

Winery Notes:  "Elegantly scented nose of ripe fruit, blackberry, and blackcurrant. On the palate, it is fruit-driven, with plenty of berry fruit, subtle oak, spice, smoky, notes of leather and cocoa. Good depth and fine tannins, finishing long and fresh..."
