  • The contemporary soul of Vega Sicilia
    Alión embodies the diversity of Ribera del Duero. This wine represents a mosaic of personalities, with vineyards stretching from the eastern edge of the appellation (Soria) to the western tip (Vega Sicilia’s estate in Valbuena de Duero).
  • Vineyards with character
    Sourced from vines averaging 40 years of age, at over 750 meters above sea level. The poor, low-nutrient soils yield more concentrated, powerful, and expressive grapes. Vineyard surface: 70 hectares across several towns in Valladolid, Soria, Segovia, and Burgos. Planting density: 2222 plants/ha. Yield: 3300 kg/ha – 23.1 Hl/ha. Harvest: Handpicked in 12 kg boxes, from September 24 to October 11.
  • Manual harvest and strict selection
    The harvest is carried out manually in 12 kg boxes, with precise bunch selection. A process focused on quality and authentic vineyard expression.
  • Precision winemaking
    During aging—in concrete, barrels, and oak vats—different parcels are blended to create a harmonious Ribera expression. This 2020 vintage emerges from that pursuit, with a clear varietal identity and natural, flowing vinification.
  • For those who value time and depth
    This wine is ready to drink now, but with proper cellaring conditions (12–14 ºC and 60% humidity), it can age gracefully for up to 20 years. Production: 244,244 Bordeaux bottles, 7,075 Magnums, 600 Double Magnums, 80 Imperials, and 5 Salmanazars.

About the Winery

Founded in 1986 as part of the TEMPOS Vega Sicilia group, Bodegas Alión represents the most modern and avant-garde interpretation of Ribera del Duero. Located in Padilla de Duero (Valladolid), its philosophy is based on making wines that combine the characteristic power of the region with contemporary elegance, standing out for their balance, complexity and cellaring capacity.

With 70 hectares of its own vineyards, located at an altitude of over 750 meters, Alión cultivates exclusively the Tinta Fina (Tempranillo) variety, taking advantage of the nutrient-poor soils to obtain grapes of great concentration and character. The manual harvest and meticulous selection of the clusters guarantee the highest quality in each vintage.

Its winemaking process integrates tradition and innovation, fermenting the must in American oak vats and aging for 14 months in used French oak barrels. Subsequently, the wine is refined for 20 months in bottle before release, thus achieving a perfect balance between fruit, wood and elegance.

Thanks to its sophisticated style and exceptional cellaring capacity, Alión has established itself as one of the most acclaimed wines in Spain, recognized by both national and international critics,and considered an essential reference in Ribera del Duero.

Safe shipping and tracking at all times.
