Territory and wine style

The Costa Toscana IGT denomination finds one of its most recognizable expressions in Gorgona, thanks to an insular context that imparts a clear marine imprint to the wine. The vineyard, cultivated on the island of Gorgona in the Tuscan Archipelago, benefits from a breezy environment rich in briny suggestions, elements that are reflected in the tasting profile and its natural tension. The result is a white wine with a fine, clean, and territorial character, designed to best express the Mediterranean vocation of the Tuscan coast.

Tasting notes

Aromatic herbs like rosemary, sage, and helichrysum emerge, leading to a saline finish that precisely recalls the sea. On the palate, it shows vibrant freshness, well-defined sapidity, and remarkable persistence, with a coherent return between nose and mouth and a long, clean finish.
