MARCHESI FRESCOBALDI Gorgona 2019

MARCHESI FRESCOBALDI

Frescobaldi embodies the essence of Tuscany, its extraordinary vocation for viticulture and the diversity of its territories.​

Frescobaldi’s uniqueness stems precisely from the representation of this diversity, from its estates and from wines which express a kaleidoscope of aromas and sensations, springing from the characteristics of each individual terroir​

Behind every Frescobaldi wine lies the passion of our agronomists and oenologists, who know our vineyards and terroirs down to the finest detail. Their art, creating quality wines, requires the iron rule of respect. Respect for our tradition, which guides us, even in the midst of innovation or avantgarde solutions. Respect for Tuscany, our living land, to be cultivated in harmony and serenity. But also respect for each individual terroir, borne of a unique combination of soil, altitude and microclimate, each giving us a wine with its own matchless personality.​

GORGONA AND FRESCOBALDI

Gorgona Island

The smallest in the tuscan archipelago, since 1869 it has been an open penal colony. The mainly mountainous island was once a place of hermits and monks and subject to barbarian raids.
Today the island hosts an open penal colony, where the prisoners can move around freely to work and learn new professions which will help them to be reinstated in society at the end of their sentence.

Gorgona and Frescobaldi

A social project born of the collaboration between Frescobaldi and the Gorgona penal institute. The Frescobaldi agronomists and oenologists have been working with the prisoners since 2011, offering them skills in wine-growing and wine, which they will be able to use to build a new future.

GORGONA BIANCO

-Tasting notes-

This wine is a perfect expression of the namesake island it hails from and it evokes all the aromas of the Mediterranean brush, the minerality of the insular soils, and the crispness of the sea winds. Gorgona’s nose is rich in herbal notes of rosemary, thyme, hawthorn flowers and juniper that blend in harmony with the more complex notes of ripe white peach, pineapple and cedar, which are the result of a longer ripening phase. In the mouth, the wine is extremely fresh with a touch of fruitiness that recalls the flavour of apricot jam. Lingering and inviting, Gorgona accompanies the drinker on a journey of discovery of this tiny but incredibly diverse island.
