    A powerful, rich and velvetyRibera Del Duero

    "The 2022 Alión is a powerful and rich wine, characterized by intense aromas of black fruit and a distinctly warm profile. The mid-palate features a touch of sweet fruit, and the alcohol seems slightly more pronounced than usual, but it is balanced by velvety, juicy tannins and beautifully integrated oak. Notes of prune and black plum give it an opulent, almost Cabernet-like character that will appeal to lovers of richer, more explosive styles."
    -James Suckling

    STORY BEHIND THE WINE

    Founded in 1864, Ribera del Duero’s Vega Sicilialays claim to being Spain’s greatest wine producer. The estate built its reputation on concentrated wines crafted for extended ageing. Alongside the legendary Único, it produces Alión - a wine that retains all the depth and personality of the estate's most long-lived releases, while remaining highly approachable in its youth.
