Gorgona











After an autumn and winter of normal temperatures and plentiful rain, that fell mainly in the month of November which allowed the terrain to accumulate a good water reserve, the vines on Gorgona started to sprout in the last week of March, earlier that elsewhere as is so typical on the island. The softening effect of the sea averted any problems linked to sudden drops in temperature at the start of April, so the vine growth was regular. The persistent rains in the month of May and temperatures slightly below average in the months of June and July, ensured that the vines easily overcame the torrid heat in the weeks mid-August, and reached harvest in excellent condition. The Vermentino harvest started at the end of the first week in September which was marked by a good diurnal range given by the warm days and cool nights, while the Ansonica harvest started in the last week of the month.

Organoleptic Notes: Gorgona 2021 once again conveys enveloping maritime sensations, warm sun, a steady blowing fresh breeze and the scent of the sea itself. It has a magnificent straw-yellow colour with glimmering golden tinges. It offers a full bouquet, marvellous aromas of Mediterranean shrubs, broom, mastic, and aromatic herbs that combine a hint of white flowers such as hawthorn, camomile and freesia. Even the fruity hints are marvellously incorporated, such as banana, pineapple and more exotic fruits in general; it is rounded off with extra fresh hints of citrus fruits such as grapefruit and citron. The sapidity it offers on the palate is incredible and it blends well with its freshness and smoothness. Again for the 2021 vintage, we perceive a strong link with the sea in these aromas that for the tenth year has us dreaming and loving this island in the middle of the sea all the more.
