This 11th edition of Frescobaldi's island penitentiary project is delightfully floral, with summer meadow and hay scents. Textural and zippy, it has a waxy, leesy character in the mouth with some earth and citrus peel depth, lifted by ripe yellow fruits, pine and those floral characters, along with plenty of salinity. The Vermentino and Ansonica come from two hectares of east-facing vines on iron-rich soils.
Winery
Gorgona has a straw-yellow colour with golden reflections and crystalline brilliance. The bouquet is an explosion of Mediterranean flora: white and yellow flowers with a predominance of daisy, camomile, hawthorn, mimosa and broom. This is followed by clear hints of exotic fruit, passion fruit, mango and pineapple. The fruity notes unfold seamlessly and citrusy hints of citron and tangerine soon emerge. The olfactory finish is mineral, dominated by iodised notes. It is savoury on the palate and at the same time fresh and lingering. Its persistence is remarkable and the taste-olfactory response is total. Every year Gorgona amazes us and surpasses itself in the complexity and intensity of the organoleptic sensations it gives us. Such a unique place could only generate an extraordinary wine.

Region: Tuscany

All over the stunning region of Tuscany in central Italy, you'll see rolling hills covered in green, healthy grapevines. This region is currently Italy's third largest producer of wines, but interestingly wineries here are generally happy with lower yields holding higher quality grapes, believing that they have a responsibility to uphold the excellent reputation of Tuscany, rather than let it slip into 'quantity over quality' wine-making as it did in the mid twentieth century. The region has a difficult soil type to work with, but the excellent climate and generations of expertise more than make up for this problem. Most commonly, Tuscan vintners grow Sangiovese and Vernaccia varietal grapes, although more and more varietals are being planted nowadays in order to produce other high quality wine styles.

Country: Italy

Italy is recognised as being one of the finest wine producing countries in the world, and it isn't difficult to see why. With a vast amount of land across the country used primarily for vineyard cultivation and wine production, each region of Italy manages to produce a wide range of excellent quality wines, each representative of the region it is produced in. Any lover of Italian wines will be able to tell you of the variety the country produces, from the deliciously astringent and alpine-fresh wines of the northern borders, to the deliciously jammy and fruit-forward wines of the south and the Italian islands. Regions such as Barolo are frequently compared with Bordeaux and Burgundy in France, as their oak aged red wines have all the complexity and earthy, spicy excellence of some of the finest wines in the world, and the sparkling wines of Asti and elsewhere in Italy can easily challenge and often exceed the high standards put forward by Champagne. Thanks to excellent terrain and climatic conditions, Italy has long since proven itself a major player in the world of wines, and long may this dedication to quality and excellence continue.
