Gorgona Red 2021 Costa Toscana IGT Frescobaldi

Gorgona Rosso 2021: Tuscan elegance and marine identity

Gorgona Rosso 2021 by Frescobaldi is a red wine of great personality, born from a unique project in the heart of the Tuscan Archipelago. Its identity combines the character of Costa Toscana IGT with the evocative strength of an island territory, where the sea, wind, and light contribute to defining a recognizable, authentic, and original style. Made with Sangiovese and Vermentino Nero, it expresses a refined, fresh, and savory profile, with a clear territorial imprint and a harmonious taste structure.

Territory and wine style

The Gorgona project originates on the island of the same name, the only prison island in Europe, in collaboration between Frescobaldi and the local community. The vineyard, overlooking the sea, represents a special production context, where viticulture intertwines with a strong human and social value. Gorgona Rosso 2021 interprets this scenario with a Mediterranean and vertical style, capable of combining freshness, savoriness, and aromatic complexity. The presence of two complementary grape varieties helps create a balanced red, with a contemporary soul but deeply connected to the Tuscan territory.

Tasting notes

In the glass, it presents an intense ruby red, crossed by slight garnet reflections. On the nose, it offers an articulated bouquet, where small red fruits intertwine with notes of juniper, Mediterranean herbs, and sweet spices. On the palate, it is enveloping but also tense and dynamic, thanks to a pleasant freshness and a lively tannin that supports the sip. The savory component amplifies the sensation of balance, while the finish leaves a coherent and persistent trail, very faithful to the olfactory profile.

Recommended pairings

Thanks to its elegant structure and pronounced freshness, Gorgona Rosso 2021 pairs well with not overly rich land dishes, such as preparations based on red meat, light roasts, flavorful poultry, and stewed rabbit. It also works well with structured first courses, such as pasta with ragù or pappardelle with characterful sauces, as well as with medium-intensity aged cheeses. Its savory matrix makes it interesting even with dishes that evoke Mediterranean cuisine.

Serving temperature

To best appreciate the profile of Gorgona Rosso 2021, a serving temperature of 16-18 °C is recommended. If the wine has been stored in a cool environment, it may be helpful to let it breathe for a few minutes in the glass before serving, to enhance the expression of the aromas and the taste balance.
