Ansonica
Known in Sicily with the name of Insolia, Ansonica is one of the oldest if not the oldest grapes of the Italian peninsula. Originally from Trinacria, it then spread to Sardinia and Tuscany, where it finds its ideal habitat especially on the island of Elba and to a lesser extent on the island of Giglio. Some studies hypothesize that Ansonica is instead a grape variety imported from France, and its name could derive from Ansoria, which in turn would originate from the term of French origin sorie, but this hypothesis has not yet found a solid objective result.
