Territory and wine style

Here, the grapes mature under particular conditions, with moderated temperatures and a selective harvest that enhances freshness, aromatic integrity, and personality. Gorgona Rosso 2017 Costa Toscana IGT tells the story of an island and Mediterranean territory, where viticulture meets a concrete social project, making this bottle even more significant.

Tasting notes

In the glass, it presents a vivid ruby red, bright and enveloping. The olfactory profile is rich and articulated, with hints of ripe red fruit, myrtle, underbrush, and an elegant spiciness, completed by a slight toasted note on the finish. On the palate, the wine shows good structure, warmth, and softness, but retains a freshness that supports its balance. The sip is velvety, decisive, and harmonious, with a persistent finish that leaves a full and Mediterranean sensation.

Recommended pairings

Gorgona Rosso 2017 pairs well with flavorful land dishes, such as pappardelle with ragù, roasted red meats, oven-baked lamb, and preparations with aromatic herbs. Its flavor profile also makes it suitable for light game, charcuterie boards, and medium-intensity aged cheeses. In the kitchen, it enhances structured Mediterranean recipes, where fruit and spiciness can interact with intense but not overly aggressive flavors.
