GOLDEN WEDDING, THE CELEBRATION OF THE WEDDING OF COUNT GIUSEPPE TASCA D'ALMERITA
HISTORY
The Golden Wedding was born in June 1985, from an idea of Count Giuseppe Tasca d'Almerita who was celebrating 50 years of marriage with his wife Franca.
The Count of Tasca d'Almerita, through this bottle, wants to tell the story of the family and the historic Tenuta Regaleali.
His composition is something unique and romantic, a union of Inzolia and Sauvignon that are born in the Regaleali vineyards.
A further union between the wine and its territory is also the use of selected yeasts within the vineyards.
