Tenuta Regaleali Nozze d'Oro Sicilia Doc 2020 White

...to my wife with immense love. A special wine. Count Giuseppe, for his golden wedding anniversary, decided to create a new white wine with equal parts of Inzolia and Varietà Tasca, this latter produced only in Regaleali. Thus a wine was born which everybody judges to be excellent.

Dedicated to his wife Franca, Nozze d’Oro was so well-received that it was decided to continue the production in following years. White and of excellent structure. It is a cru of the company.
