VEGA SICILIA ALION 2019/20/21

VEGA SICILIA – ALIÓN
Ribera del Duero, Spain

From the iconic estate Vega Sicilia, Alión represents the modern, contemporary expression of Ribera del Duero—powerful, polished, and immediately expressive, while retaining the estate’s unmistakable pedigree.

Tasting notes
Deep ruby in color with aromas of black cherry, ripe plum, cassis, and blueberry, layered with violet, cocoa, graphite, and sweet spice. The palate is full-bodied and concentrated, yet remarkably sleek, with finely grained tannins, vibrant acidity, and a long, elegant finish marked by mineral and savoury notes.

Style & winemaking

• 100% Tinto Fino (Tempranillo)

• Sourced from selected vineyards across Ribera del Duero

• Aged in predominantly new French oak for structure and refinement

• Crafted for intensity, precision, and earlier approachability than Único

Food pairing
Excellent with grilled or roasted meats, lamb, beef, game, and richly flavoured dishes.

Drinking window
Approachable relatively young with decanting, and capable of aging gracefully for 15–20+ years, gaining complexity and depth over time.
