Wine made from the Tinto Fino variety. It is harvested by hand in 12 kg boxes and immediately taken to the winery to be placed on the sorting tables. Fermentation takes place in wooden tanks with temperature control until obtaining a good polyphenol extraction that will provide the generous colour and firm structure that constitute part of the personality of this wine; and finally, an ageing of between 14 and 20 months, depending on the characteristics of the vintage, is carried out entirely in new French oak Bordeaux barrels. These barrels from the most prestigious Bordeaux firms (Radoux, Taransaud, Saury and Vicard) represent a significant investment in oak because, harvest after harvest, all the wine produced in Alión will remain in new barrels that, after being abandoned for bottling, will not be used again by the winery.

Once the wine is removed from the barrels, it will remain in the stillness of the bottle for no less than 15 months, where it will finish assembling all the primary aromas of the fruit with the nuances provided by its delicate aging, resulting in a fleshy, complex and intense wine, but in which elegance plays a differentiating element and hallmark of the winery.
