Discover the grape variety: Bondola noire

An ancient grape variety cultivated in Italy, where it originated and is almost no longer multiplied, unknown in France as in most other wine-producing countries. It should not be confused with Bondoletta, a cross between Bondola Noire and Completer, and with the red prié called Bonda in Valle d'Aosta - Italy - (José F. Vouillamoz and Giulio Moriondo), which has almost disappeared from the vineyards today, and which is not related to Bondola Noire. Note that the white Bondola - very rare - is not the white form.
