Alion

With the success of the Vega Sicilia project confirmed, the Alvarez family set about implementing their strategy of sensible wine-making expansion. With Pablo Álvarez firmly at the helm, a bodega quite close to Vega Sicilia was bought in 1990. An emotional charge lies in the name chosen for the new winery project, Alion, which is a derivation from the Roman name, Ayllon, today known as León, where the family patriarch, David was born. Pablo was determined that Alion would reflect the modern Ribera del Duero, with the tradition offered only by a wine made from 100% tinto fino.
