Ansonica

Costa dell'Argentario D.O.C.

Ansonica is a robust and prized wine which came to us from Greece. The long ago coming together of the Hellenic and Mediterranean cultures introduced it to Italic people, who since then have appreciated and cultivated . Because of the robust constitution of the plant and the organoleptic qualities of the grape, Anzonica can grow only in a few areas in Italy: you can find it in Sicily where it’s called Inzolia, and along the Tyrrhenian coast. The wine made from these grapes earned the Doc status in 1995. This unique wine, Anzonica, is the product of careful cultivation and scrupulous wine-making technique.
