A robust zinfandel from Napa Valley, a bright sauvignon blanc from New Zealand ¡ª you know the usual suspects up a sommelier¡¯s sleeve, but the next time you dine out, ask if a Gorgona Rosso Costa Toscana IGT is on the menu. The red blend is one of two wines produced with the help of inmates on a remote prison island off the coast of Italy. There, men at the Gorgona Agricultural Penal Colony are paid to work in vineyards and take part in the wine-making process, developing skills many go on to use upon their release.
