Marchesi de' Frescobaldi
Gorgona Toscana Ansonica Vermentino
Tuscany, Italy
Bright and deep yellow gold. Inviting nose of tangelo and cedar. Medium palate confirms the nose adding a mentholesque note and yellow fruit. Low acidity (that brightens up mid palate) leads to a smooth mouthfeel that almost drinks like a red. Lingering orangey finish. Gorgona is a prison island where the inmates -- in the last year of their sentence -- work in the vineyards and winery to develop skills that will help them reintegrate into society. The wine is a direct result of that program, and if it's any indication those inmates are on the right track. Drink now through 2028.

I like it, evolves nicely in the glass. Very leesy and salty finish. Made by prisoners!
