Calabria in Italy’s far south is one of Italy’s lesser known regions, so this wine was a real find. Ansonica is also known as Inzolia in Sicily and it makes fascinating wines when skin contact is used. An inviting amber colour, the nose is bursting with orange blossom, marmalade and pink grapefruit, while the palate offers a beautiful balance of natural sweetness with crisp, zesty citrus and just a hint of savoury grip, making it more than a match for a Thai curry.
