The winery is situated in the Ribera del Duero region of Spain. It operates right next to its parent estate, taking advantage of the region's extreme temperature shifts and high-altitude plateau vineyards.
What type of wine is the Alion Álion?
Alión is a 100% Tempranillo wine classified under the Ribera del Duero Denominación de Origen. It is aged in new French oak barrels for roughly 12 to 14 months, giving it a polished, international flavor profile.
How does Alion differ from Vega Sicilia's other famous wines?
