The vineyard is located about 60 meters above sea level, on sandy soils with the presence of schist, in an area exposed to the east and protected from strong sea winds. This combination helps define an elegant style, savory and well-connected to the territory, with a measured structure and a clear Mediterranean imprint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTasting notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the glass, it presents an intense ruby red color, enriched by garnet hues. On the nose, it offers aromas of small forest fruits, accompanied by notes of toasting and sweet spices, in a harmonious and well-blended ensemble. On the palate, it shows balance, freshness, and a taste structure that combines vigor and softness, with a pleasantly persistent finish. The aging in terracotta amphora for 15 months helps preserve its expressive identity and natural aromatic precision.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eRecommended pairings\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGorgona Rosso 2020\u003c\/strong\u003e pairs with great versatility with moderately savory land dishes, such as grilled red meats, roasts, light braises, and game birds. It also expresses well with structured first courses, meat ragù, pappardelle with wild boar, and medium-intensity aged cheeses. Its marine imprint and good freshness make it interesting even with richer Mediterranean preparations, based on mushrooms, aromatic herbs, and flavorful vegetables.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eServing temperature\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ideal temperature to serve \u003cstrong\u003eGorgona Rosso 2020\u003c\/strong\u003e is between \u003cstrong\u003e16 and 18 °C\u003c\/strong\u003e. If the bottle has been stored in a cool environment, it may be helpful to open it a few minutes before serving to enhance the aromatic expression.
