Considerations: It is in the uniqueness of the varietal composition that Nozze d'Oro stands out, despite the fact that almost 40 years have passed since Count Giuseppe created this wine in 1984 to celebrate his 50th wedding anniversary with his wife Franca it is still an extraordinarily contemporary blend. Inzolia and sauvignon come together to give structure and fullness the former, aromatic notes and acidity the latter. A great Italian white, surprising for its ability to age and for the emotions it can give many years after the harvest.
Tasting notes.: Brilliant, yellow in color with greenish reflections, the nose expresses a complex aroma that associates hints of exotic fruit with floral notes such as orange blossom and white flowers. An intense and pleasant olfactory profile that opens to a fresh and savory taste, long and complex, with great texture and taste persistence.
Pairings: Throughout the meal, it pairs well with rich seafood dishes. Ideal with particularly aromatic first courses, including those with botargo.
