Inzolia

White wine grape · reported 2000

Further reading: VIVC catalog entry

Inzolia, also spelled Insolia or Ansonica, is a Sicilian white grape used both for dry table wines and, historically, as a component of Marsala. California's CDFA reports mention it in exactly one year, 2000, and even then with zero tons crushed statewide — meaning the variety was listed in that year's report without any actual reported harvest. No bearing acreage was ever recorded, and it never reappears in later reports. This is among the thinnest entries in the atlas: a single mention with no measurable production behind it.

What is published

Counts describe what this atlas holds for Inzolia, not what California grows. A zero is a published answer: it means the source names the grape and reports nothing under it, or does not name it at all.
