Frescobaldi’s Gorgona white wine shows a beautiful straw-coloured hue marked by wisps of gold in the glass. On the nose, zesty aromas of citrus, passion fruit, grass and a touch of hay lead to refreshing and harmonious palate laden with flavors of lemon rind, tangy passion fruit and sea spray. This light- to medium-bodied wine finishes bright and long, showing a distinct saline quality on the finish.
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

Tuscany has been producing fine wines for almost three thousand years, and as such is widely recognized as being one of the key Old World wine regions which have shaped the way we understand and enjoy quality wines throughout history. Interestingly, the region is typified by a unique soil type which is not particularly good for growing grapevines, but in Tuscany, the emphasis has always been on quality over quantity, and low yields with high levels of flavor and intensity are preferred, and have become a feature of the region's wine industry. The main grape varietals grown in Tuscany are Sangiovese for the distinctive, flavorful and complex red wines, and Vernaccia for the exquisite dry white wines, although the last couple of decades have seen more varietals grown and an increasing trend towards 'Bordeaux style' wines.

Country: Italy

There are few countries in the world with a viticultural history as long or as illustrious as that claimed by Italy. Grapes were first being grown and cultivated on Italian soil several thousand years ago by the Greeks and the Pheonicians, who named Italy 'Oenotria' – the land of wines – so impressed were they with the climate and the suitability of the soil for wine production. Of course, it was the rise of the Roman Empire which had the most lasting influence on wine production in Italy, and their influence can still be felt today, as much of the riches of the empire came about through their enthusiasm for producing wines and exporting it to neighbouring countries. Since those times, a vast amount of Italian land has remained primarily for vine cultivation, and thousands of wineries can be found throughout the entire length and breadth of this beautiful country, drenched in Mediterranean sunshine and benefiting from the excellent fertile soils found there. Italy remains very much a 'land of wines', and one could not imagine this country, its landscape and culture, without it.
