Alión Red wine
Alión red wine from the renowned Bodegas Vega Sicilia showcases the essence of the 2020 vintage in a 0.75-liter bottle. This wine is crafted primarily from the Tempranillo grape, known locally as Tinto Fino, and features an impressive alcohol content of 15%.
Originating along the banks of the Douro River, Alión was created with an independent spirit that sets it apart from traditional Vega Sicilia wines. From its inception, this wine has been defined by innovation and a modern approach, resulting in a captivating expression that embodies both freedom and power. The grapes exhibit the true character of the Douro region and undergo aging exclusively in new French oak barrels, utilizing contemporary winemaking practices that culminate in a distinctly unique product.
Alión presents a deep cherry red color with violet reflections, showing high density, cleanliness, and brilliance. The wine's nose is clean and intensely aromatic, revealing a harmonious balance of ripe black and red fruit along with pleasant toasted notes. It is enhanced by subtle spicy nuances of vanilla, nutmeg, and pepper, alongside hints of tobacco, soft cocoa reminiscences, a mineral touch, and gentle balsamic notes.
On the palate, Alión offers a remarkable journey of savory, fleshy, and expressive flavors, characterized by a significant fruit load harmonized with delicate oak and intricate spices. Its sweet, fine tannins deliver a satisfying mouthfeel, complemented by lively acidity that adds depth and definition. The finish is long-lasting and persistent, ensuring a memorable wine experience.
Alión pairs excellently with a wide array of dishes, including roasted red meats, stews, game, and semi-cured cheeses. This wine not only reflects the rich heritage of its region but also meets the high standards of international palates. Experience Alión, where tradition meets modernity, and indulge in a wine that is destined to impress.
