CURIOSITIES: Tridente's old vines are spread over more than 40 different plots of its own vineyards (90 hectares). In some cases, the vines date back to 1910, although the most emblematic is the vineyard planted in 1898, of some four hectares used to produce Rejón, its top-of-the-range wine.
Most of the vineyards are located in the municipality of El Pego, within the Toro denomination of origin, but the winery is located in Villanueva de Campeán, which belongs to the Tierra del Vino de Zamora denomination of origin.
