Alión 2020 is a premium red wine produced by the Alión winery, located in the renowned Ribera del Duero wine region of Spain. This wine is an expression of excellence and craftsmanship, made from carefully selected grapes from old vineyards.
Alión 2020 stands out for its elegance and complexity, showing the distinctive characteristics of the region and terroir. It is made primarily from the Tempranillo grape variety, also known as Tinto Fino, which is the region's most important indigenous grape. These grapes are grown in older vineyards, which provides greater concentration and quality.
As for its winemaking process, Alión 2020 undergoes careful vinification and aging. After fermentation, the wine is aged in French oak barrels for approximately 14 to 16 months. This barrel aging gives it remarkable structure and complexity, as well as providing subtle notes of wood, spice and vanilla.
The result is a red wine of great intensity and balance. In terms of tasting, Alión 2020 offers a rich aromatic palette, with notes of ripe black fruits, such as plums and blackberries, combined with hints of licorice, cocoa and tobacco. On the palate, it is silky and elegant, with soft, round tannins and balanced acidity that lends freshness and vitality.
Alión 2020 is a wine that is best enjoyed when decanted before serving, allowing all its aromas and flavors to open up. It is an ideal wine to pair with red meats, game and cured cheeses.
