Aalto PS 2021, Bodegas y Vinedos 3 L – Mariano García, the legendary former winemaker of Vega Sicilia, created Aalto to push the boundaries of Tinto Fino. The “PS” stands for Pagos Seleccionados (Selected Parcels), sourced only from the absolute best and oldest vines (60 to 90 years old) in exceptional vintages. The 2020 vintage is a masterpiece of concentration and elegance. Presented in a massive 3-liter Double Magnum, this wine is guaranteed to age at a glacial pace, preserving its profound complexity for decades to come.

What’s it Like?

It pours a deep, inky purple in the glass. The nose is a powerhouse of ripe blackberries, blueberry liqueur, dark chocolate, espresso roast, and sweet baking spices from its aging in 100% new French oak. On the palate, it is incredibly dense and full-bodied, yet completely seamless. The tannins are massive but polished, driving a long, echoing finish that balances raw power with breathtaking finesse.

Perfect For

An unforgettable celebration with a large group of serious wine enthusiasts. It demands a hearty, robust meal such as a whole roasted suckling pig, grilled tomahawk steak, or slow-braised beef cheeks.

Bodegas y Viñedos Alión: The Modern Ribera del Duero

Founded in 1991 by the Álvarez family (the legendary owners of Vega Sicilia), Alión was born from a desire to create a modern, more accessible expression of Tinto Fino (Tempranillo). While Vega Sicilia is deeply steeped in tradition and legendary for its extended aging in mixed oak, Alión was designed to reflect the contemporary tastes of the 21st century. It focuses entirely on pure fruit expression and the exclusive use of new French oak barrels.

A Terroir of Distinction Located just 15 kilometers from its famous parent winery, in the heart of the Ribera del Duero, the Alión vineyards benefit from extreme climate conditions. The scorching hot days and freezing nights promote the development of thick skins and intense concentration in the grapes. The winery operates with surgical precision, utilizing state-of-the-art technology to ensure that the raw, sun-baked power of the fruit is perfectly balanced by an elegant, polished structure.

The Philosophy Alión is emphatically not a “second wine” to Vega Sicilia; it is an entirely independent entity with its own distinct personality and dedicated winery. The philosophy is singular: one wine, one grape variety, and a commitment to precision. Today, Alión stands as an absolute benchmark for modern Spanish winemaking, proving that forward-thinking innovation and deep-rooted heritage can coexist brilliantly.
