Tasting note
Elegant and beautifully refined, with aromas of white peach, citrus blossom and ripe pear, layered with Mediterranean herbs, wild flowers and a hint of sea spray. The palate is vibrant and textured, balancing juicy orchard fruit with bright acidity, saline minerality and a long, fresh, harmonious finish.
Unique Selling Point
Gorgona, a wild island in the Tuscan Archipelago, is home to Europe's only island prison and Frescobaldi's unique wine project. Since 2012, inmates have cultivated Vermentino and Ansonica vineyards under expert guidance, creating Gorgona wine—a symbol of nature, craftsmanship, hope, freedom, and second chances.
Viticulture
The grapes are grown on the island of Gorgona, where terraced vineyards overlook the Tyrrhenian Sea. Abundant sunshine, cooling marine breezes and mineral-rich soils encourage slow, even ripening, producing fruit with vibrant acidity, aromatic purity and a distinctive saline mineral character.
Vinification
Hand-harvested grapes are gently pressed before fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to preserve freshness and aromatic purity. The wine is then aged on its fine lees for several months with regular bâtonnage, enhancing texture, complexity and balance while retaining its vibrant coastal character.
