Alion, first produced in 1991, is made entirely from Tempranillo (Tinto Fino), primarily from the Ribera del Duero region. It represents a more modern style for Vega Sicilia, but it is produced within the same philosophy of quality and terroir as their other wines. Vega Sicilia’s Alion 2006 is a refined Tempranillo-dominant wine from the Ribera del Duero region. It presents aromas of ripe dark fruit, cherry, and subtle leather, alongside a touch of earth and spice. On the palate, the wine is structured with firm tannins, balancing its fruit profile with oak-derived complexity. Flavours of dark berries, vanilla, and tobacco lead to a long, nuanced finish. Alion 2006 demonstrates the power and depth of Vega Sicilia’s approach, with a modern touch, making it a wine that ages well while remaining vibrant and dynamic.
