The wine

Gorgona Rosso Frescobaldi: The Marine Soul of Tuscany

Imagine yourself on an island, rocked by the sea breeze, where the vine clings to the rock. It is from there that this wine comes, a unique expression of Tuscany that whispers stories of sea and land. It is not just a drink, it is an invitation to a sensory journey, an enchanted interlude.

Gorgona: An Exceptional Island Terroir

This wine, the Gorgona Rosso, is the fruit of the Frescobaldi estate, but above all of the island of Gorgona. It is a place outside of time, where the Sangiovese and Vermentino Nero vines flourish, steeped in the salty air. The distinctiveness of this island terroir gives the wine a distinctive character, a freshness and minerality that you will find nowhere else in mainland Tuscany. It is a story of resilience and wild beauty.

As soon as you pour it, its color catches your eye, a deep red that evokes Mediterranean sunsets. On the nose, you will discover a remarkable aromatic intensity: notes of ripe red fruits mingle with subtle spicy touches, like a secret whispered by the wind. On the palate, it reveals its balance and persistence. The tannins are delicate, well integrated, and the fruit is vibrant. What makes it truly unique is this constant reminder of the sea breeze, a finish that transports you directly to the shores of Gorgona. Fermentation in steel tanks, followed by maceration on the skins, preserves the purity of the fruit, while several months of aging in oak barrels bring it softness and elegant structure.

Gourmet Pairings and Special Moments

This wine is an ideal companion for moments of sharing. I recommend it with dishes of character: a fine cut of grilled red meat, game simmered with herbs, or aged cheeses that will converse with its complexity. Picture it on your table, at a dinner among friends, or to celebrate a special occasion. It will not fail to surprise and delight your guests. The Gorgona Rosso is not just a wine, it is an experience, a fragment of the Tuscan soul that you can savor, sip after sip. Let yourself be carried away by its story and its inimitable flavor.

Gorgona Rosso grows on the island of Gorgona, with Sangiovese and Vermentino Nero: not ordinary for a Tuscan red! Fermentation in steel tanks then a few months in oak barrels — that's the lovely duo between preserved fruit and structure.
