The Tuscan archipelago is an earthly paradise of which Gorgona is the wildest and most luminescent pearl of Aphrodite. Behind its apparent surliness, the unspeakable seduction of scents and silences, and a nature that moves by its strength, by its eternal puberty.... And all around, water and salt, reflecting the messages of the sky, tightening the laces to the sails." (A.Bocelli - 2014) The Gorgona project was born in August 2012 thanks to the collaboration between Frescobaldi and Gorgona, the only island-prison in Europe. Here prisoners spend the last period of their sentence, working in contact with nature to develop professional skills that facilitate reintegration into the working and social reality. Around a small vineyard, in the heart of an amphitheater overlooking the sea, begins the project whose goal is to allow inmates to gain concrete and active experience in the field of viticulture, with the collaboration and supervision of Frescobaldi agronomists and oenologists. Gorgona Rosso sees the light of day with the 2015 vintage, from several rows of Sangiovese and Vermentino Nero, grown organically and then aged in terracotta jars. Gorgona Rosso's label is dedicated to hope and the desire for rehabilitation: with the hope that the important viticulture experiences gained by the inmates, can help them write a new page upon re-entry into society.
