In the 1980s, the Álvarez family of Vega Sicilia sought to produce a wine that took advantage of the most current winemaking techniques, just like the great, innovative Châteaux of Bordeaux. First produced in 1991, that wine, and later winery, became Alión. Unlike Unico and Valbuena, Alión is a pure expression of Tempranillo, sourced from over 70 estate hectares that reflect the diverse terroir of Ribera del Duero, from pockets of broken quartz to smooth white and red stones to the iconic, deep draining gravels. Alión enthusiasts know that these wines become more harmonious with age, as the oak spices fade into the background, letting Ribera's robust scarlet fruits and signature molten earth take stage. It's a three-piece lesson in how powerful wines can also be supremely elegant. ~Allegra A
