Croatina wines

Croatina wines, also known as Bonarda in some regions, originate from northern Italy, particularly in Lombardy and Piedmont, where the Croatina grape thrives in the diverse terroirs of the area. While often used as a blending grape, Croatina is also capable of producing intriguing single-varietal wines. These wines are esteemed for their deep color, vibrant acidity, and rich flavors, offering a unique expression of the northern Italian winemaking tradition.

Croatina wines typically exhibit a deep ruby color and offer enticing aromas of dark berries, cherries, and spices, with hints of earth and herbs. On the palate, these wines are characterized by their medium to full-bodied texture, firm tannins, and lively acidity, with flavors of blackberry, plum, and savory notes. Croatina's versatility allows it to pair well with a variety of dishes, from hearty meat dishes and game to pasta with rich tomato sauces and aged cheeses. Whether enjoyed on its own or as part of a blend, Croatina wines capture the essence of northern Italy's winemaking heritage and the diverse terroirs of Lombardy and Piedmont.
