Trial analysis
Alión's philosophy is different from Vega Sicilia’s. Alión makes modern wines, 100% Tempranillo Fino.
After fermentation, the wine is aged for 13 to 14 months is French new oak barrels. Then it stays for 2 years in to bottle.
Its style is close to modern Bordeaux Grands Crus.
Both concentrated and refined, fleshy and elegant.
This great wine is a tribute to the graciousness of Tempranillo.
