Gorgona
The autumn season on Gorgona island saw heavy rain that began around mid-October and continued through November. Precipitation continued into the first half of December, a month with temperatures slightly higher than seasonal averages. The winter of 2024 will be remembered as one of the warmest in recent years, with average temperatures of 12–15 °C and rare cold days. There was a lack of precipitation in January, but February saw numerous rainy days. The Vermentino began budding in the second half of March, around the 20th, followed by Ansonica, the later variety. The beginning of April also saw abundant rainfall, while the second half of the month saw a drop in temperatures that slowed down the development of the vines. June, characterised by cool days and temperatures slightly below seasonal averages, was a gentle prelude to the months of July and August, which were characterised by high temperatures, but always mitigated by the presence of the sea, and by occasional rain. The grape harvest began with the Vermentino in the second week of September, while the Ansonica harvest started in the second week of October. In conclusion, 2024 saw a later harvest compared to previous years, thanks in part to the temperature drop in September, which allowed for a slow and progressive ripening of the grapes.
Organoleptic Notes: Gorgona 2024 is a beautiful, brilliant and intense straw yellow. The complex and elegant bouquet is a combination of floral, fruity and Mediterranean notes. It opens with scents of broom and honeysuckle, accompanied by notes of ripe exotic fruit and citrus, reminiscent of bergamot and cedar. It continues with hints of rosemary, sage and helichrysum. The olfactory finish is dominated by iodised notes. On the palate, it has a wonderful savoury edge and freshness. It has a remarkable persistence and harmony between taste and aroma. Long finish.
