Cured itch in a wine from Italy (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

chianti

'wine from italy' is the definition.
(Chianti is an Italian wine)

'cured itch in a' is the wordplay.
'cured' indicates anagramming the letters.
'itch'+'in'+'a'='itchina'
'itchina' with letters rearranged gives 'CHIANTI'.

(Other definitions for chianti that I've seen before include "Chain it to popular Italian wine" , "I can hit for popular Italian wine" , "Dry red Italian wine" , "Italian wine variety" , "Wine produced in Tuscany" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
