Vinification of the Gorgona Rosso by Frescobaldi The grapes for the Gorgona Rosso come from the sun-drenched slopes of Gorgona Island. This unique location with its special microclimate contributes to the high quality of the grapes. The cultivation is organic and respects natural biodiversity. After harvest, the grapes are carefully selected to use only the best fruits for vinification. The vinification takes place under controlled temperatures to optimize the extraction of aromas. After fermentation, which can vary depending on the grape variety, the wine matures for several months in oak barrels. This aging imparts complex aromas to the Gorgona Rosso and ensures a harmonious integration of tannins. The aging is done in a combination of new and used barrels, giving the wine a subtle yet balanced wood note. Before bottling, the wine enters a resting phase to further develop its aromas and refine its taste.
