Descrizione
Gorgona Vermentino Ansonica 2022 It is a Costa Toscana IGT white wine made from a blend of Vermentino and Ansonica grapes grown in the vineyard on the island of Gorgona, a unique wine-growing project carried out in collaboration between Frescobaldi and the local community.
Costa Toscana IGT Gorgona is produced from a small two-hectare vineyard situated in a natural amphitheatre overlooking the sea, where the maritime climate promotes a slow and complete ripening of the Vermentino and Ansonica grapes. The iron-rich soil, east-facing aspect and protection from sea winds contribute to the balanced development of the grapes’ aromatic and structural characteristics. This wine reflects not only the terroir, but also the social commitment that characterises its production. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}
