This wine has an intriguing name - golden wedding. Count Giuseppe Tasca d'Almerita is a true winemaker. To celebrate his 50th anniversary with his wife Franca, he decided to create a new wine that would tell a story of estate and family. And so, in 1984, he blends Inzolia and Sauvignon Blanc to get a Nozze d'Oro between two grapes cultivated by his family since WW1.
Inzolia comes from the Barbabietole vineyard (8.4 ha) planted in 1972. Sauvignon Blanc - Tramontanata vineyard (6.67 ha) planted in 1998. Both grapes are fermented in stainless steel tanks for 15 days, but Sauvignon grapes are cold-macerated for a short period of time. Malolactic fermentation doesn't occur. The wine is aged in stainless steel tanks on lees for 5-6 months.
