Intense and deep purple red. |

Aromas of black fruits mixed with touches of smoke, undergrowth and accents of eucalyptus. |

Concentrated, elegant and silky; a real delight! This wine can be enjoyed immediately, although with time it will become truly incredible! |

The estate and the wine |
|
|
This global icon owes its legendary status to a unique place and a devoted family, fervently sought after by wine enthusiasts around the world.
Nestled along the Duero River, shaped by a harsh climate and crafted by skilled hands, these lands produce one of the crown jewels of global viticulture: Vega Sicilia. The Álvarez family has created a timeless masterpiece, weaving together the land, time, and human expertise.
Every detail contributes to its place among the world’s finest wines. Barrels are custom-made on the estate, following proprietary techniques, and the aging process is exceptionally extended—some cuvées spend up to 10 years maturing before release. |

Considered one of Parker's favorite vintages, the 2011 red Ribera del Duero Vega Sicilia Unico has developed during its aging notes of black fruits, undergrowth, and eucalyptus. This vintage, both concentrated, elegant, silky, precise, and deep, is an extraordinary wine. It's a true delight, available only in the greatest vintages! Rated 94/100 by Parker. |
