Inzolia

Inzolia

Inzolia, also known as Ansonica, is one of the oldest and most traditional grape varieties found in Sicily, Italy. This white grape variety is known for its hardy nature and its enduring susceptibility to diseases. Inzolia is typically grown in the warm regions of Sicily, specifically in Trapani and Palermo.

The grape is appreciated for its aromatic and fresh qualities, proving itself well-suited to Southern Italy's hot climate. Characterised by an intriguing combination of fresh acidity and vibrant aromatics, Inzolia grapes are renowned for producing wines that carry a robust palate of almonds and citruses, typically mingled with floral notes. These wines often have a fresh crispness due to their vibrant acidity, enduring popularity amongst enthusiasts who favour white wines.

The inherent characteristics of this grape make it a distinct inclusion in several blended white wines. For a considerable length of time, it was primarily utilised in the production of Marsala, the famous fortified wine of Sicily. However, in recent years, Inzolia's potential as a standalone variety has been rediscovered, and it is now rightfully respected for the creation of varietal wines, increasingly championed by local vintners.

Coming of age under the warm Mediterranean sun, this grape is a true reflection of its Sicilian homeland. Inzolia imparts not just a sense of place, but a sense of history. It is a grape steeped in tradition, reminding us of the rich viticultural heritage of the region it thrives in and contributing definitively to Sicilian enological identity.

The complexity and character of Inzolia grape wines makes them an engaging choice for enthusiasts, savouring the bright taste of Italian sunshine from their glass. These wines can be enjoyed young, but can also be cellared for a few years, during which time they develop intriguing secondary characteristics. As a definitive piece of Sicilian viticulture, the Inzolia grape continues to allure wine lovers around the globe.
