Origin and D.O.
D.O. Ribera del Duero (Castilla y León, Spain). Crafted by Bodegas y Viñedos Alión, part of the prestigious Tempos Vega Sicilia group, in Padilla de Duero (Valladolid).
Grape varieties
100% Tempranillo (Tinto Fino) from selected vineyards over 30 years old, grown on clay-limestone soils and well-drained gravel.
Winemaking and aging
Hand harvest with rigorous selection in the vineyard and at the winery. Fermentation in stainless steel tanks with temperature control. Aged 12 to 14 months in new French oak barrels (100%), followed by 18 months’ bottle aging before release. A process guided by precision and the pursuit of excellence.
Producer profile
Bodegas Alión was founded in 1986 as a parallel project of Vega Sicilia, conceived to express Ribera del Duero from a contemporary perspective. Its philosophy focuses on creating wines of powerful yet refined character, with an international profile and impeccable balance between fruit, structure, and elegance.

Care information

Store red wines horizontally in a cool, dark place, while white and sparkling wines are best kept in the refrigerator. Avoid sudden changes in temperature.

Alión is the kind of wine that needs no introduction, only respect. I serve it when the table demands something with soul, spirit, and memory.

Pairing

Ideal with red meats, roast lamb, traditional stews, truffles, Iberian cured meats, or aged cheeses.
