The bubble is very well integrated and its balanced acidity makes it a very pleasant wine to drink and persistent on the palate.
In 2008, the Gil family (leading the powerful Juan Gil Bodegas Familiares group) brought their expertise to Villanueva de Campeán, 30 km south of Zamora, in the heart of the region known as Tierra del Vino. Here, they founded Bodegas Tridente together with Enrique Busto. A small winery where red wines are crafted using the traditional varieties tinta de Toro (mainly), prieto picudo, and mencía. The vineyards are located in Villanueva and El Pego, with old, low-yield vines from the Bierzo and León regions. Currently, Bodegas Tridente markets the brands Entresuelos, Tridente Mencía, Tridente Tempranillo, Tridente Prieto Picudo, and Rejón.
