Harvest 2020

In 1984 Count Giuseppe Tasca d'Almerita decided to celebrate 50 years of marriage with his wife Franca with a wine that told the story of the family and the estate. The uniqueness of the varietal composition is the sign of its romanticism, born from Inzolia and Sauvignon Tasca, a selection of a vineyard present in Regaleali since the end of the First World War. The use of selected yeasts from our vineyards links this wine even more inextricably to the territory it belongs to. Fresh at a young age and capable of unsuspected longevity, balancing the tertiary aromas with the intensity of the fruit.
