From the island of Gorgona, the smallest island of the Tuscan archipelago, located 18 miles west of Livorno, a blend of Vermentino and Ansonica, varietals that are now perfectly acclimated to their island environment. Gorgona is a white wine born from the collaboration of Marchesi de’ Frescobaldi and the island’s penal institution. The Frescobaldi agronomists and oenologists have worked together with prisoners, teaching them important skills that can be used at the end of their detention for an easier reintegration into society. The Gorgona wine comes from a small vineyard of about one hectare, located in the only area sheltered from strong sea winds, in the middle of an amphitheater which overlooks the sea. The vineyard is managed by the prison inmates using organic farming techniques.

Gorgona 2022 has a straw-yellow colour with golden reflections and crystalline brilliance. The bouquet is an explosion of Mediterranean flora: white and yellow flowers with a predominance of daisy, camomile, hawthorn, mimosa and broom. This is followed by clear hints of exotic fruit, passion fruit, mango and pineapple. The fruity notes unfold seamlessly and citrusy hints of citron and tangerine soon emerge. The olfactory finish is mineral, dominated by iodised notes. It is savoury on the palate and at the same time fresh and lingering. Its persistence is remarkable and the taste-olfactory response is total. Every year Gorgona amazes us and surpasses itself in the complexity and intensity of the organoleptic sensations it gives us. Such a unique place could only generate an extraordinary wine.
