Gorgona Rosso Marchesi Frescobaldi 2021

Gorgona by Marchesi Frescobaldi is a unique wine, that is the result of a social project born in August 2012 from the collaboration between Frescobaldi and Gorgona, a beautiful penitentiary island within the Tuscan Archipelago National Park. Thanks to this project, prisoners who spend the last period of their sentence here can work in contact with nature, acquiring professionalism and experience that will facilitate their reintegration into society. Gorgona Rosso wine was produced for the first time in 2015 from some rows of Sangiovese and Vermentino Nero, grown organically by the penitentiary inmates, with the collaboration and supervision of Frescobaldi agronomists. As the Gorgona Bianco, this is an extraordinary wine, a symbol of hope and freedom.
