Chiaramonte ansonica was created as an act of reverent homage towards this important and widely-planted Sicilian variety. Made from 100 % Ansonica, it displays a fine lemon golden colour with greenish 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
