Toscana Bianco IGT 'Gorgona' (750 ml.) 2023 Frescobaldi
The Tuscany IGT Gorgona Bianco di Frescobaldi is an extraordinary and symbolic wine, born on the prison island of Gorgona from a social project that combines rehabilitation and excellent viticulture. Produced in very limited quantities, it is made from Vermentino (70%) and Ansonica (30%), grown on terraces overlooking the sea in an unspoiled environment with sustainable agricultural practices. After hand harvesting, it ferments in stainless steel and ages in used oak barrels, preserving its freshness. It presents a bright golden yellow color, with aromas of mediterranean scrub, citrus, white flowers, and saline notes. The taste is tense, savory, and harmonious, a faithful reflection of the island. Perfect with raw seafood, shellfish, amberjack tartare, and fish pasta dishes.

Color: Bright straw yellow with golden reflections, expressing its island origin and well-calibrated maturation. The color, bright and crystalline, suggests a fresh wine with good concentration.
Bouquet: The aromatic profile is intense and complex. It opens with citrus notes of cedar and lemon zest, followed by floral hints of broom and chamomile. Then, Mediterranean nuances of aromatic herbs like thyme and sage emerge, with iodine and mineral hints that evoke the proximity to the sea. The evolution on the nose is continuous, with delicate nuances of yellow-fleshed fruit and light reminders of dried fruit.
Taste: Engaging, fresh, and savory, with an elegant texture and a strong marine imprint. The citrus freshness is well balanced by a creamy roundness, while the persistence is long, with a salty and vibrant finish that recalls the sea breezes and the unspoiled nature of the Island of Gorgona. The structure is refined but capable of expressing character and depth.

THE WINE
The Toscana IGT Gorgona Bianco by Frescobaldi is an extraordinary and symbolic wine, born on the island-prison of Gorgona from a social project that combines rehabilitation and excellence in viticulture. Produced in very limited quantities, it is made from Vermentino (70%) and Ansonica (30%), grown on terraces overlooking the sea in an unspoiled environment and with sustainable agricultural practices. After manual harvesting, it ferments in stainless steel and ages in used oak barrels, preserving its freshness. It presents a bright golden yellow color, with aromas of mediterranean scrub, citrus, white flowers, and saline notes. The taste is tense, savory, and harmonious, a true reflection of the island. Perfect with raw seafood, shellfish, amberjack tartare, and fish pasta dishes.
THE COMPANY
No other Italian winery can boast the history, prestige, and vision of the Marchesi Frescobaldi. A Florentine family dedicated for thirty generations and for 700 years to the production of great wines, with the constant aim of being the most prestigious Tuscan producer. A reality that has always believed in respecting the territory, focuses on the excellence of its grapes, invests in communication and the professionalism of its human resources without ever forgetting the respect for tradition and openness to research and experimentation. In 1855, the first in Tuscany, they planted Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Pinot Noir, and Chardonnay in the estates of Nipozzano and Pomino. In 1894 they built in Pomino, a location not far from Florence, the first Italian winery capable of utilizing natural gravity for transferring from barrels and distinguished themselves, during the same period, for the introduction of “specialized vineyards.” In 1989 they purchased the Castelgiocondo estate in Montalcino, and in 1995 they inaugurated the Tenuta Luce della Vite in Montalcino, to which was added in 2000 the Tenuta Conti Attems in Friuli. Recent bright projects include the control of the Tenuta dell’Ornellaia in Bolgheri in 2005, and in 2011 the inauguration of the state-of-the-art Ammiraglia winery in Maremma. All wines labeled “Marchesi Frescobaldi” arise from passion, experience, skill, and love for a chosen territory, Tuscany, which has become the ideal cradle of wines of the highest quality. With a vineyard area that currently approaches one thousand hectares, and an annual production of around seven million bottles, from the Chianti area to Pomino, from Montalcino to Maremma, the perfect knowledge of the environment and the uniqueness of the terroirs ensure a constant quality and a strong personality of the wines, all - none excluded - exceptional. Labels from “Marchesi Frescobaldi” are elegant and harmonious, balanced and engaging, emotional and unique.
