Description
“...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.

Since 2001, Tasca d’Almerita has pursued a project focused on enhancing native grape varieties in the island’s most vocated territories. Alongside Regaleali—the historic estate spanning approximately 500 hectares—new estates have been added: Capofaro on the island of Salina, Tascante on the northern slopes of Mount Etna, Whitaker on the island of Mozia, and Sallier de La Tour in the Monreale DOC.
In 2019, Tasca d’Almerita was named "European Winery of the Year" by Wine Enthusiast magazine. In 2021, it became one of only 24 wineries worldwide to be awarded the prestigious "Green Emblem" for sustainability by Robert Parker – Wine Advocate. Since March 2023, already a Benefit Corporation, it has earned the esteemed international B Corp certification, joining a select group of companies committed to the highest standards of social and environmental sustainability.
