{"product_id":"alion","title":"Alión","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Alión 2022 shows what Ribera del Duero can do in a good vintage: dense fruit, lively structure and wood that blends in rather than dominating.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Bodegas Alión belongs to the Vega Sicilia group and was founded in 1991 with the aim of developing a modern Ribera style that combines power with freshness. The Tempranillo grapes come from select vineyards around Peñafiel, on calcareous clay soils at an altitude of approximately 800 meters. The continental temperature fluctuations ensure slow ripening and concentration of aromas.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e In the glass, the 2022 vintage displays blackberry, dark cherry, and a hint of lavender. After a brief aeration, cedarwood and a subtle smoky note emerge. On the palate, it is dense but not heavy – the tannins are velvety, the acidity keeps the wine lively, and the finish is long and spicy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Serving temperature: \u003cb\u003e16–18 °C\u003c\/b\u003e . Drinking window: now until 2032. Pairs well with herb-crusted lamb loin, Ibérico pork, or a robust Manchego cheese. If opening young, caramelize for one hour beforehand.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bodegas Alión","offers":[{"title":"2022","offer_id":53019944616272,"sku":"VJ1117-2022","price":94.96,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0896\/3509\/4864\/files\/00354017_2111.png?v=1779117056","url":"https:\/\/www.vinoscout.de\/en\/products\/alion","provider":"Vinoscout","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
