"The essence of the Alonso del Yerro family in a legendary format. A red wine that redefines elegance in Ribera del Duero: sophisticated, structured, and blessed with glorious evolution in the bottle."
The Grandeur of Time
The **Alonso del Yerro 2019 in Magnum format (1.5L)** is the definitive choice for the collector. In this format, the air-to-wine ratio is smaller, allowing the Tempranillo from Roa to develop a complexity and velvety texture unattainable in standard bottles. Under the guidance of **Stéphane Derenoncourt**, this excellent vintage displays a mineral freshness and fruit depth that guarantee a sensory experience that will only improve over decades.
