Behind its apparent surliness, the unspeakable seduction of scents and silences, and a nature that moves for its strength, for its eternal puberty.... And around, water and salt, reflecting the messages of the sky, tightening the ties to the sails.\" (A.Bocelli - 2014) \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe Gorgona project was born in August 2012 thanks to the collaboration between Frescobaldi and Gorgona, the only prison island in Europe.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Here the inmates spend the last period of their sentence, working in contact with nature to develop skills that facilitate reintegration into the working and social reality. Around a small vineyard, in the heart of an amphitheater overlooking the sea, the project begins with the goal of allowing inmates to have a concrete and active experience in the field of viticulture, with the collaboration and supervision of Frescobaldi agronomists and oenologists. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eGorgona Rosso was born with the 2015 harvest, from some rows of Sangiovese and Vermentino Nero, cultivated organically and then aged in terracotta Orcio. Today the vineyard covers an area of two hectares, of which one is the original and a second planted in 2015. From this vineyard of \u003cstrong\u003eVermentino and Ansonica\u003c\/strong\u003e comes Gorgona, the fruit of the uniqueness of the place, the work of man, and a symbol of hope and freedom.

The Gorgona 2020 label tells us about the fortress and the towers present on the Island. On the western coast, steep and jagged, stands the mighty \"Torre Vecchia\", an imposing Pisan manor or better defined as \"a fortress\", covered with local stone, now in ruins, built between the 11th and 13th centuries with the purpose of guarding the stretch of sea towards Corsica and defending the monks from frequent pirate raids.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e On the opposite side of the island, towards the mainland, is the cala dello scalo, the fishermen's harbor dominated by the \"Torre Nuova\", a Medici fortification from the 17th century that completed the marine defense system. Finally, on the island there are also two reddish towers built at the end of the 19th century to monitor movements on the mainland: at the edge of the pine forest, near the vineyards, the Clock Tower, whose name is inspired by the sundial placed on the side of the building, and, towards Cala Scirocco, the Garibaldi Tower.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"_4kj94\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"lem6bq-0 gWHNhT\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"CM_uD _2tBge\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"lem6bq-0 gLSbeA sc-11wpx3s-0 fxvkEz _3BigP\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sc-15waekg-0 gsFSgx _2TJ__\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eClimatic trend\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sc-15waekg-0 gsFSgx _2TJ__\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sc-15waekg-0 gsFSgx _2TJ__\"\u003eThe season on the island of Gorgona was characterized by a winter with frequent rains, but with temperatures never harsh, as they were constantly mitigated by sea breezes. The vine began its vegetative cycle with the usual early start that distinguishes the island, budding in the first week of March. A particularly pleasant spring, with mild and sunny days, favored the vegetative-productive development of the plants, leading them towards a summer that proved slightly cooler than previous years. Temperatures rose from the end of July; however, the island's microclimate, made unique by the presence of the sea, combined with isolated rain showers, allowed the clusters to reach the harvest period in perfect physiological and sanitary condition. An equally sunny but always windy September finally ensured that the grapes developed good polyphenolic maturity, accompanied by an intense and elegant aromatic profile.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"_2QUZg _2tBge\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"_3lFFP _3M3Zx\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"_1S6Bb\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"vMdbA _26QYc _2DKAk\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"_2EYRZ\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sc-3x41z4-0 ezRfYj\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sc-3x41z4-1 jAFLGi\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"_3UdcM\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"lem6bq-0 jJpNUc _2-lU3\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sc-15waekg-0 fGOIXc _1d47w chapter-text _3YCvA\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eOrganoleptic notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gorgona expresses a great Mediterranean character, with all the warmth of the sun that kisses the island and the freshness of the sea breezes that constantly blow. Its color is a straw yellow full of golden reflections. \u003cstrong\u003eThe bouquet is an elegant combination of Mediterranean, floral, and fruity notes. The scents of Mediterranean scrub recalling rockrose, helichrysum, mastic, and juniper combine with broom and the memory of hawthorn.\u003c\/strong\u003e Among the fruity notes, the scents of exotic fruits such as pineapple and passion fruit are evident, as well as the citrus notes of bergamot. On the palate, wonderful sapidity and freshness intertwine in a magical balance, further enhanced by the initial softness and an extreme elegance that accompanies throughout the tasting. Like all vintages, 2020 also manifests as another amazing chapter in the story of Gorgona. Gorgona takes those who taste it to breathe and savor the stories that only this small great island can tell.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Frescobaldi","offers":[{"title":"2023","offer_id":51530330931542,"sku":"AW0194-T-B-FSC-GRG-23-N","price":87.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"2024","offer_id":51530330964310,"sku":"AW0263-T-B-FSC-GRG-24-N","price":86.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0580\/0787\/9853\/files\/Gorgona_Bianco_-_2024_-_Frescobaldi.jpg?v=1760082352","url":"https:\/\/arswine.it\/en\/products\/gorgona-bianco-costa-toscana-igt-frescobaldi","provider":"Ars Wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
