Bodegas Tridente – Tempranillo (750 ml)

Overview:The ancient lands of the Kingdom of Le??n, with their icy winds in the depth of winter and humid summers, chisel the temperament of wines with strength and distinction. They are given their character by the centuries-old, low-yield vineyards, guarded with zeal and harvested by hand.

On the gravel soils, where the cavalry helmets of the Knights Templar resounded, pearl clusters of Tempranillo and the indigenous varieties Tinta de Toro and Prieto Picudo are grown.

Tempranillo grapes with which it is produced this wine are from very old vines with very little production in the areas of Villanueva de Campe??n and El Pego, within the province of Zamora. These vineyards are generally planted on a top layer of gravel over very sandy soils. The fermentation was carried out in stainless steel tanks and then moved to French oak barrels for a period of 15 months.

Tasting Notes:Cherry,tomato, dried figs. Complex dill and woody notes.

Pairing:Rice, pasta, (noodles, spaghetti, macaroni), vegetables, mushroom, stewed meat, sausage, pork, roast meat, red and/or white meat with sauces, grilled meat, short or medium cured cheeses.
