Nozze d'Oro DOC Tasca d'Almerita
A seal of love between people and grape varieties. Nozze d’Oro is Conte Giuseppe Tasca’s tribute to his wife France after 50 years of marriage. And it was also a bond between Inzolia and Tasca Sauvignon – a clone that has existed at the Estate since the end of the Great War. A blend that – like a fortunate relationship – knows how to be youthfully fresh and rich in complexity after many years.
