VEGA SICILIA VALBUENA 5º 2020 MAGNUM
RIBERA DEL DUERO RED WINE SPAIN 1500ML
SPAIN • RIBERA DEL DUERO
"The magnificence of large-format wine at its finest, offering exceptional longevity and distinction. Vega Sicilia Valbuena 5º 2020 in a Magnum format (1500ml) is a strictly dry red wine made primarily from Tinto Fino (Tempranillo) with a touch of Merlot. Its five-year aging in wooden vats and French and American oak barrels, followed by further bottle maturation, evolves even more slowly, gracefully, and sublimely in Magnum format. It offers a seductive bouquet of ripe red and black fruits, fine spices, hints of mint and toasted wood, with a velvety texture and a monumental finish."
The Grandeur of Magnum Format
The Vega Sicilia VS Valbuena 2020 Magnum Red Wine, in a 1.5-liter bottle, is made in Valbuena de Duero, Valladolid, by the distinguished Bodegas Vega Sicilia. The lower proportion of oxygen relative to the volume of liquid ensures slower micro-oxygenation and harmonious development in the cellar. It is a dry wine of aristocratic elegance and noble tannins.

Ribera del Duero at La Cava Shop with free shipping on orders over $1,499 MXN throughout Mexico, and explore our exclusive selection of Spanish wines and wines from Bodegas Vega Sicilia.
