The first Ansonica vines arrived in Australia from Sicily where it is known as Inzolia, but in our opinion, the best examples come from the Tuscan coast. A fairly vigorous variety, the fruit on the vine is unusual, with long draping bunches and ovular and firm skinned berries that develop a rosy-golden sun kissed colour as they ripen. Our first vines were planted in 2019, but have been slow to establish, so production is still very small. The 2025 release shows stone fruit and green apple crunch. It’s deliciously dry with an almost saline minerality.
