Wine list | Sicilia DOC |
A symbol of love between people and vine varieties. “Nozze d’Oro” is a homage of the count Giuseppe Tasca to his wife Franca after 50 years marriage. This wine represents another union, the one between Inzolia and Sauvignon Tasca, an existing clone cultivated in the territories of the estate since the end of the great war. A blend that is able to be fresh during its youth and to preserve its features even after some years. It is composed by 72% Inzolia and 28% Sauvignon Tasca cultivated in the territories of Regaleali estate, in the heart of Sicily. It is still unique and actual, even if 30 years passed since the count Giuseppe created it to celebrate 50 years marriage with his wife Franca. Inzolia and Sauvignon meet themselves to give structure (Inzolia), aromaticity and sourness (Sauvignon). A great Italian white wine that has a good predisposition for the aging and that is able to give important emotions to the people who drink it.
