Gorgona 2021
Costa Toscana IGT
"The Tuscan archipelago is an earthly paradise of which Gorgona is the wildest and most luminescent pearl of Aphrodite.
his apparent grudge, the unspeakable seduction of perfumes and silences, and a nature that is moved by its strength,
his eternal puberty .... And all around, water and salt, reflecting the messages of heaven, tightening the laces to the sails. "(A.Bocelli - 2014)
Gorgona project was born in August 2012 thanks to the collaboration between Frescobaldi and Gorgona, the only penitentiary island in
Europe. Here the inmates spend their last sentence, working in contact with nature to develop
professionalism that facilitate reintegration into the working and social reality. Around a small vineyard, in the heart of a
amphitheater overlooking the sea, begins the project whose goal is to allow prisoners to have a concrete experience
and active in the field of viticulture, with the collaboration and supervision of the agronomists and oenologists Frescobaldi. 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 Gorgona was born, the result of the uniqueness of the place, the work of man and a symbol of hope and freedom.
Gorgona Rosso sees the light with the 2015 harvest, from some rows of Sangiovese and Vermentino Nero, grown in
organic farming and then refined in a terracotta jar. The Gorgona label aims to be "the extraordinary edition"
of the island, telling a different aspect of it every year. With Gorgona2021 the intent is to narrate the 10th
harvest with a dedication to the island, the smallest of the seven islands of the Tuscan archipelago, a solitary landing in the sea.
Those who arrive here feel the same sense of union and experience the same strong emotions of the island. In Gorgona, in harmony with the
nature, man finds, in contact with earth, dignity and hope for the future. Men with different histories and paths
they finally speak lastessalingua, they join forces and skills for a higher goal, a just social project that
"Tastes good".
