Gorgona Rosso






The 2020 season on the island Gorgona was characterized by a winter with frequent rains, but with temperatures that were never cold because they were constantly mitigated by sea breezes. The vine began its growing cycle with the usual anticipation that distinguishes the island, sprouting in the first week of March. A particularly pleasant spring, with mild and sunny days, favored the vegetative-productive development of the plants, accompanying them toward a summer that turned out to be slightly cooler than in previous vintages. Temperatures have been rising since the end of July, however the island's microclimate, made unique by the presence of the sea, combined with isolated rainfall events, allowed the clusters to arrive at harvest time in perfect physiological and sanitary condition. An equally sunny but still breezy September finally ensured that the grapes developed good polyphenolic ripeness, accompanied by an intense and elegant aromatic profile.

Organoleptic Notes: Gorgona Rosso 2020 is characterized by a bright and lively ruby red color. The nose hints at ripe red fruit and Mediterranean scrub, with hints of juniper, mastic tree, myrtle, mugwort and verbena. Intriguing spiciness as well. The palate opens into a soft warm sensation, followed by the savoriness typical of a maritime area. Beautiful taste-olfactory correspondence. Extremely balanced wine.
