Aletta Garnacha is a distinctive wine hailing from the Campo de Borja region, known for its exceptional Garnacha vines. Produced from vineyards aged 15-25 years, this wine benefits from a unique continental climate influenced by the Atlantic's cold, dry "Cierzo" wind in winter and the Mediterranean's warmth in summer. The vineyards, situated on brown-calcareous and terraced soils with good drainage and rich organic matter, offer a diverse nutrient profile. Additionally, the proximity to the Moncayo mountains introduces clay-ferrous, stony soils, enhancing the wine's complexity. Aletta Garnacha showcases the best of these terroirs, resulting in a wine with rich, nuanced flavors and a special character that reflects its unique environmental influences and expert winemaking.
