Alion is one of the most important and sought after wines of the Ribera del Duero.
It is made of Fine Red (Tempranillo), produced by the Alien winery, which belongs to the main wine group Tempos Vega Sicilia.
The grapes that are made of Alien and grow just 15 kilometers from the vineyards of Vega Sicilia come from plots with an average age of 30 years, which are harvested manually and harvested in boxes of 12 kg and are immediately transported to the cellar, where they run through the sorting table.
The obligation is fermented in wooden containers at controlled temperatures until the correct extraction is achieved, which gives it its characteristic color and structure.
Depending on the harvest, the wine has between 14 and 20 months in new french oak bordeaux barrels.
These barrels are produced by renowned French baberhers and are no longer used by the winery after the bottling of wine, which has been dormant for at least 15 months.
The name Alion refers to the Council of Leon, in which the patriarch of the Alvarez family was born, which acquired Vega Sicilia in 1982.
In 1993, the first harvest of the Alion was prepared in this facility and he inaugurated his own winery.
As a result, he was no longer regarded as the younger brother of the famous Vega Sicilia wines, but as a modern and updated wine, with a very different cut from the classic ribera del Duero wine style.
This allowed him to take his own place and is now one of the most famous and sought after wines in the world.
