While it is most famous traditionally as an ingredient in the fortified marsala wines, it is now seen more and more as a crisp, dry white wine, in blends and as a single variety. The grape was best known for its use in marsala wine, but it is now often blended with the local catarratto, and it can also produce good quality varietals. Ansonica or inzolia is a white italian wine grape planted primarily in western sicily where it can be used to produce marsala wine

The grape is noted for its nutty aroma.
Like many european grape varieties, inzolia can trace its ancestry to the ancient world
Historians strongly believe it was introduced to the island of sicily in the 8th century bc after the greeks established a series of trading colonies across the western mediterranean. The main characteristics of inzolia include a balanced acidity, subtle nutty and herbal notes, and a refreshing profile influenced by sicily’s mediterranean terroir. Nowadays, while it is mainly grown in sicily (chiefly in western sicily), it also appears in some tuscan whites, there usually listed as “ansonica”. Today, we’ll talk about one of the most important white grapes in italian winemaking
The normans brought it to sicily, but it has since spread to other parts of central italy, especially tuscany (elba), where it is known as ansonica. Inzolia, known as ansonica in tuscany, is an ancient white grape variety believed to have been introduced to sicily by the greeks around the 8th century bc Historically, it was primarily used in the production of fortified marsala wines in sicily. Inzolia is an italian grape variety mainly associated with sicily, though small amounts are also found in tuscany (ansonica bianca)
