Tridente Tempranillo 2020

Introduction

Tridente is located in Castilla y Leon and is a 100% Tempranillo which has matured for 15 months in French oak. The Tempranillo grapes used to produce this wine come from very old vines with very little production in the areas of Villanueva de Campen and El Pego, in the province of Zamora. These vineyards were planted a long time ago on a top layer of gravel with sandy soils so the vines have to work. The fermentation is carried out in stainless steel tanks and then the wine matures for about 15 months in French oak barrels. On the nose, you will smell aromas of toasted oak, graphite, balsamic, incense and black fruit. On the palate, the wine is medium-to-full bodied and has a firm finish with some toasted bread and nuts in the finish. Like all wines from Juan Gil, this Tridente is a wine with a great price/quality ratio.
