Nozze d'Oro Sicilia DOC - Tenuta RegalealiThe Nozze d'Oro Contea di Sclafani DOC from Tenuta Regaleali by Tasca D'Almerita shines straw yellow with golden reflections in the glass. The nose reveals a multi-layered bouquet with floral and fruity aromas, lime blossom, sage, cedar, delicate nutty nuances, quince and tropical fruit. Fresh and juicy on the palate, this Sicilian white wine is dry, creamy, balanced in acidity and beautifully textured on the palate, with fruity notes and a long, harmonious finish. A Sicilian white wine, fresh and lively when young, which gains in complexity as it matures and is a real pleasure even after several years of ageing. Vinification of the Nozze d'Oro Contea di Sclafani Doc from Tenuta Regaleali Dedicated to my wife in infinite love... , Regaleali, June 3, 1985 When Conte Giuseppe created this wine in 1984, it was for his golden wedding anniversary in 1985 and a declaration of love to his wife Franca. At the same time, Nozze d'Oro was to be the successful marriage of the two grape varieties Inzolia, an autochthonous Sicilian white, and Sauvignon Tasca, a family-owned historical clone of Sauvignon Blanc, which had also been cultivated and vinified together at the winery for 50 years. The wine was so successful that it was decided to produce it anew every year. For the Cru Nozze d'Oro, 72% Inzolia and 28% Sauvignon Tasca are married in a cuvée. Harvested separately by hand, the Inzolia in the Barbatietole vineyard and the Sauvignon Tasca in the Santa Tea vineyard, fermentation takes place at low temperatures in stainless steel tanks, malolactic fermentation does not take place. The wine then remains in the stainless steel tanks on the fine lees for 4 to 5 months and is then matured in the bottle for a further 6 months.
