Alvar de Dios Hernandez Aciano (El Pego) 2016
(88pts)
Aciano is a three-hectare (seven-plus acres) Tinta de Toro vineyard, in the vicinity of El Pego in the southern part of DO Toro, that Alvar de Dios inherited from his grandfather. The soils here are unique for the appellation, being entirely sandy. It is for this reason that these ungrafted vines, planted in 1919, have survived phylloxera and are capable of producing an uncharacteristic style of wine for Toro – perfumed, lifted and elegant rather than more typical style of the DO. Aciano was the nickname for Alvar’s grandfather and this wine is named in his honor.
