Vega Sicilia Valbuena 5º 2020 – Double Magnum (3.0 L)
by Bodegas Vega Sicilia
The backbone of the Vega Sicilia portfolio, Valbuena 5º is aged for five years before release and represents the purest expression of Ribera del Duero elegance. In double magnum (3L) format, it becomes even more majestic — ageing slower, evolving more gracefully, and offering extraordinary presence at the table.
Predominantly Tempranillo (Tinto Fino) with a small percentage of Merlot
Aged in French and American oak, followed by bottle maturation
2020 delivered freshness, precision, and beautifully ripe tannins
Valbuena is more structured and classical than Alión, yet more approachable in youth than Único — the perfect balance.
