The island is the last criminal colony active per mezzo di Europe, but Gorgona is also a land of wine thanks to the project started per mezzo di 2012 by the Marquis Frescobaldi per mezzo di collaboration with the Island’s prison institution. And so, where the sea represents at the same time border and horizon, the agricultural action that is at the roots of the wine allows you to work the recovery of sociality and professional pratica per mezzo di prison. Lamberto Frescobaldi believed from the beginning per mezzo di a simple but powerful lampo di genio: to give detainees a second possibility, not only symbolic but real, offering them a job with regular contract and a respectable professional pratica, under the guidance of the company’s winemaker, Nicolò d’Abbattuto and the head of the project Federico Falossi. The result is not only an excellent product, but a model of reintegration that combines dignity, professionalism and contact with nature. ” this island – underlines the director of prison Giuseppe Renna – magical sensations are proven, where all our efforts flow to make a harmonious and respectful community, which can lead to hope for the future”.
Gorgona a scaltro wine?

It is liked more and more and the request has increased over the years, so I think this signal can catalog it as a scaltro wine”. Winelover collectors who choose Gorgona “do it almost always because they like it and not because they know its story – he adds – to pass this information is very difficult, above all to be able to make it perceive how the great project it represents and therefore I believe that the choice really falls only the taste and value of wine”.
The Gorgona project will probably remain a unicum. “This program represents for us an important commitment – explains Frescobaldi – that first of all it gives us passion through the relationship that is created with the prisoners who work for us. The pivot for me is obviously the wine, but all that is around is essential. To imperatore -propose this project per mezzo di another place I would say because not, but the effort is really so much”.
