The Gorgona project was born in August 2012 in collaboration between Frescobaldi and Gorgona, the only prison island in Europe. In this place the prisoners spend their last sentence, working in contact with nature. Around a small vineyard, in the heart of an amphitheater overlooking the sea, begins the project whose goal is to allow prisoners to have a concrete and active experience in the field of viticulture, with the collaboration and supervision of Frescobaldi agronomists and oenologists. Today the vineyard has an extension of two hectares, of which one initial and a second planted in 2015. From this vineyard of Vermentino and Ansonica comes Gorgona, the fruit of the uniqueness of the place, the work of man and symbol of hope and freedom. The label of Gorgona wants to be the extraordinary edition of the island, telling each year a different aspect. Bianco Gorgona has a straw yellow color with golden reflections, the nose expresses Mediterranean notes with white and yellow flowers, to which emerge daisy, chamomile, hawthorn and mimosa. There are scents of exotic fruit, passion fruit, mango and Mandarin: the palate is savory and at the same time long and fresh. Persistence and remarkable intensity. Gorgona Bianco is excellent in combination with a pasta with vegetable sauce or with white meat. To fully appreciate its style, this wine should be served at a serving temperature of 12/14 ºC.
