Was hoping for more given the cool story of the wine/terroir of Gorgona. Lacked acid and overall one noted for the price. Like zest, bay laurel, wild herbs.

Inaugural 2012 vintage blend of Vermentino and a touch of Ansonica; sourced from the Gorgona island off coast of Tuscany. Complex white peach pear mid palate weight and terrific acidity and length

A unique wine. 3K bottes made by inmates in Gorgona island prison off Tuscany. A rich bayleaf apricot Vermentino.

Classic Vermintino Ansonica blend but terroir unique to the Isla di Gorgona (mermaid in Greek). Fleshy stone fruit and weighty brininess. A powerful wine. Made by rehabilitating prisoners from the penal colony there. Only two six packs in Northern California to be found at Kokkari and Evvia Estiatorios.

This is a rare one... Only 2700 bottles made. And they're all made by convicted criminals on a prison island off the coast of Tuscany.

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

Made by prison inmates. Funky and delicious. Only 2700 bottles produced. Amazing with beets/blue cheese and an apple/Brussels salad.
