Alión comes from carefully selected terroirs located in the very best areas of the Ribera del Duero DO region. The soils complement each other and along with the same winemaking process used in Vega Sicilia, they haveproduced wines with a firm structure.

2019 was a drier vintage than normal, which was also noted during the grape tasting. Potent, concentratedskins, yet with a very firm structure. Work essentially started with extraction to develop a vintage for which we reduced total vatting for fermentation to around 11 days. The odd batch was refined before being barrelledand reducing the impact of the wood and the toast is important for this type of vintage. Adding concrete helped us to work on the verticality and freshness of the wines.
