Austere, noble reds, pale in colour and quick to turn garnet, with powerful tannins and high acidity, showing aromas of sour cherry, faded rose, tar, white truffle, leather and balsamic notes with age. Outstanding ageing potential. Absolute star of Piedmont with Barolo DOCG and Barbaresco DOCG, also in Roero, Gattinara, Ghemme and Valtellina (Chiavennasca). A late-ripening Italian variety among the world's greatest.

Recent Piedmontese DOC (2002) between Roero (Cuneo) and Astigiano (Asti), alluvial soils. Croatina is the autochthonous signature variety (≥80%, here called Bonarda di Cisterna, century-old vines) as the king red: deep ruby with vibrant notes of ripe cherry, crushed raspberry, blackberry, violet and a peppery touch, supple tannins and lively acidity with a gourmand bitterness. Dry and fruity young, or age-worthy Superiore. A gem from the Asti hills.
