The Winery
Vega Sicilia - Baron Rotschild
Beyond wine. A phrase that is repeated in this winery at the zenith of quality and worldwide prestige. Vineyards bathed by the Duero and the philosophy that the land rules, and above all the expert hand in the elaboration and ageing that seals a pact between its wines and time. Vega Sicilia, Alión or Pintia, names inseparable from the quality and exclusivity they represent.

Description of Alion Cosecha
Alión is the youngest son of the famous Vega-Sicilia winery, the most renowned Spanish winery in the world. Alión is made only with Tempranillo (called Tinto Fino in the Ribera del Duero area) and is aged for 14 months in French oak barrels plus 18-20 months in bottle. The barrels in which it is aged represent a great investment for the firm Vega Sicilia as only new barrels are used and, once used, they are not reused.
