Vega Sicilia single red 2010
Único is the great reference of Vega Sicilia. A legendary red wine that every wine lover should try at least once in his life. Ideal for cellaring, which in optimal conditions can last up to 60 years, it shows an "infinite" complexity in each sip, not in vain it is one of the wines with the longest aging time in the world. Its style is governed by three immutable constants: elegance, firmness and aging capacity. The result of one of the best vintages of recent years in Ribera del Duero, according to the Regulatory Council of the D.O., the 2010 vintage reaches perfection. Power, concentration and breadth in a wine that gains nuances if you allow it the necessary time to open up. A superb red to enjoy over the long term.

One of the great hallmarks ofVegaSicilia is the production of concentrated, mature, refined and extremely elegant wines, which have been the flagship of the range of the best Spanish wines worldwide. Currently, at the head of the production of these wines is Gonzalo Iturriaga de Juan, technical director of the winery since 2015.The Vega Sicilia winery is located in the Valladolid town of Valbuena de Duero, in an estate that forms a valley that follows the course of the river. The estate has 250 hectares of vineyards, 80% of which are planted with the native variety, Tinto Fino or Tempranillo, and the rest with Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Malbec. The soils are clay-limestone, with brown and alluvial areas, and Ribera del Duero has a continental climate with Atlantic influence. Rainfall is scarce, with annual averages not exceeding 500 mm, concentrated especially in spring and autumn. Sunshine, extensive and abundant, reaches annual averages of 2,200 hours of sunshine, and the Duero River favors morning mists and fogs that form an additional source of humidity.The beginning of the XXI century came to the Alvarez family (current owners) with a new challenge: the landing of Vega Silicia in Rioja.
