Gorgona 2022 Igt Costa Toscana Bianco - Frescobaldi

Tasting notes: Deep straw yellow with golden hues. The Mediterranean scrub immediately emerges on the nose, with a succession of thyme, rosemary and sage, against a mineral background. In the mouth minerality and freshness return, supported by good mouthfeel aromas reminiscent of ripe fruit. Good persistence and elegance.

Pairings: Covers the entire meal, marrying beautifully with fish dishes and shellfish. Try it with octopus all'elbana or stuffed squid; you won't be able to do without it.

Considerations: A summer must: fruity, mineral, savory and pleasant, evoking the taste of the sea on the lips. This Costa Toscana Bianco IGT "Gorgona" by Frescobaldi is so Mediterranean that it makes you feel on vacation, thanks to the thyme and rosemary scents, the citrus aromas, on a background of chamomile, peach and banana, to the point that you can feel the warm sea breeze in your hair. A miracle it performs even in winter, when the snow falls and the senses are drowsy: put the glass to your nose, then to your ear, and you hear the lapping of the waves of the sea. A wine that is born on the island of Gorgona, the smallest in the Tuscan Archipelago, 18 miles west of Livorno, from a vineyard of just one hectare of vermentino and ansonica, raised in organic agriculture. A wine with a social soul, born from the collaboration between Frescobaldi and the Prison Institute of Gorgona Island, where oenologists, agronomists and inmates work closely together, exchanging skills, humanity and life stories. It is an enriching experience on both sides, giving inmates new professional skills and - most importantly - giving them the hope of an easier reintegration into society, because if work ennobles, wine sets one free.
