2020 Nozze d'Oro

In 1984, Count Giuseppe Tasca d'Almerita decided to celebrate the golden wedding anniversary of his wife Franca with the creation of a wine that would celebrate the history of the family and the Regaleali estate. The Nozze d'Oro is a blend of Inzolia from the Barbabietole vineyard and a white grape variety called the "Tasca variety" by local winegrowers. A grape of "non-local" origin, but which has been cultivated in some of the estate's vineyards since the 1920s. At the end of the 1980s, with the help of various university professors and ampelographers, it was established that the Tasca variety can be traced back to Sauvignon Blanc, which has particular organoleptic characteristics due to its adaptation to the growing region. Since then, the term "Sauvignon Tasca" has become increasingly popular. This led to efforts to select this grape variety and, at the end of the 1990s, to a careful land use study for the entire estate. The results of these studies led to the creation of the Santa Tea vineyard in 1998, which, due to its microclimatic and soil characteristics, is best suited to producing the highest quality Tasca Sauvignon. Since 2004, Nozze d'Oro has therefore been produced with Inzolia grapes from the Ex Barbabietole vineyard and Sauvignon Blanc of the Tasca variety from the Santa Tea vineyard. Since 2010, selected indigenous yeasts - selected and isolated from the estate's vineyards - have been used for fermentation
