Creators' opinion
The red wine Tridente Prieto Picudo displays a beautiful cherry color with a garnet rim. It has a powerful aroma with the character of ripe fruit, roasted notes, and noble wood. On the palate, it is mature and tasty, powerful and elegant, with spices, ripe red fruits, and fine cocoa, with a balanced acidity that provides freshness, an elegant and refined passage through the mouth, and a long, persistent, and harmonious finish.
The winery
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.
