Discover the grape variety: Bonarda
Supple, fruity reds with an intense ruby colour, soft tannins and a generous palate, showing signature aromas of red fruits (cherry, raspberry), plum, soft spices and floral notes. Often made as frizzante (lightly sparkling), a festive and approachable style. Star of Oltrepò Pavese and Colli Piacentini. A name shared by several distinct varieties: the indigenous Piedmontese Bonarda (not to be confused with Bonarda from Argentina, which is actually Charbono).
