Valbuena 5º represents one of Vega Sicilia’s signature expressions. Its name refers to a five-year aging process in both wood and bottle, a process that is integral to the identity of this Ribera del Duero wine. The lot retains its wooden packaging, bearing the winery’s markings and the designation of the 2003 vintage.
