Gorgona
After a very rainy autumn, mainly during November and the early part of December, the 2023 winter season in Gorgona recorded only very little rainfall overall, with isolated episodes of rain in January. Temperatures during the initial months of the year recorded values above seasonal averages, with peaks sometimes reaching 20 °C during the central hours of the day. The month of May recorded a drop in temperatures, also thanks to greater rainfall, which helped the vines make up for limited water availability in the soil due to the lack of winter rain. Temperatures have gradually risen during the summer months, without ever reaching excessively high peaks due to the mitigating action of the sea. The month of August, unlike previous years, was rather cool, with a rise in temperatures during the last 10 days of the month. September, which was blessed with sunny days and high temperatures, helped to maintain the good health of the grapes, which is why the harvest lasted until the first week of October, allowing the grapes to ripen perfectly.
Organoleptic Notes: Gorgona 2023 has a beautiful, distinctive straw-yellow colour with golden reflections, brilliant and crystalline. The bouquet is complex and elegantly intense with Mediterranean and iodine notes that stand out. Among the Mediterranean scents are helichrysum, savory, and rosemary, followed by floral notes reminiscent of broom and chamomile. The fruity part tends more towards yellow-fleshed fruit and exotic fruits but also delicate citrus notes. On the palate it is savoury, fresh and lingering. It has a remarkable persistence and a full taste-olfactory response. Once again Gorgona impresses and amazes us with his decisive character. Welcome Gorgona white 2023.
