Chiaramonte Inzolia Firriato
Chiaramonte Ansonica was created as an act of reverent homage towards this important and widely-planted Sicilian variety. Freshness and minerality for one of the best interpretations of pure Inzolia wine.
Made from 100 hints and a nose full of citrus flowers and wild herbs. On the palate, it is wonderfully clean and fresh, with a silky texture and notes of toasted almonds on the finish.
