En Alión
Alión nació de la inquietud por descubrir nuevas formas de expresar el terroir y la diversidad de paisajes de Ribera del Duero. De una mirada inconformista y de la voluntad de explorar un camino diferente.
Desde sus orígenes, buscó romper moldes y ofrecer una interpretación contemporánea de la región, construyendo una identidad propia a partir de la riqueza de sus distintos orígenes. Un territorio modelado a lo largo del tiempo por el río Duero y por diferentes procesos sedimentarios, donde suelos, paisajes y viñedos ofrecen expresiones diversas y complementarias.
Esa diversidad es también un espacio permanente de exploración. Comprender cómo cada origen, cada suelo y cada viñedo se expresa y evoluciona permite profundizar en el conocimiento del terroir y descubrir nuevos matices. Una mirada que se enriquece con la experiencia de los viticultores y continúa en la bodega, donde la elaboración y la crianza evolucionan para interpretar y armonizar esas diferencias en un vino con carácter propio. Una forma de avanzar guiada por la excelencia y la exigencia en cada decisión; la paciencia para comprender y respetar los tiempos; la honestidad hacia el origen y las personas que lo trabajan; y la consistencia necesaria para transformar la diversidad en una expresión reconocible y singular de la Ribera del Duero a través de Alión.

It stands out for its intensity of fresh red and black fruit and its milky and balsamic notes. On the palate, it is very balanced and easy to drink, with a good acidity that gives it freshness in the mouth and a long aftertaste of fruit and fine wood.

Categorized like Gran Vino de Rueda, Protos Verdejo Reserva is a wine made from 100% Verdejo grapes from vineyards over 35 years old grown on dry land in the typical gravelly soils of the Rueda appellation.

Fermentation in French oak barrels, half new, half one year old, and is aged on its own lees in the same barrels for approximately 7 months (decided by tasting). Subsequent ageing in the bottle for a minimum of 17 months.
