Tosco's word
The Ansonica and the Vermentino from Tenuta La Chiusa are neck and neck, with nearly identical scores (7.1 vs. 7.0) and narrow gaps on every criterion. The former wins on typicity thanks to its straw-yellow color and citrus notes firmly rooted in the appellation, while the latter stands out with slightly higher versatility at the table (7.6) and a recommended serving temperature that is cooler, at 8-10 °C. If you want a more characterful white and a slightly cheaper one (€14.46), go for the Ansonica; if you prefer a floral profile and more flexible pairings, the Vermentino at €14.90 will do the trick. For a pair, the two complement each other, but if you must choose just one, the Ansonica has a slight edge on terroir.
