This red grape variety (also known as Bonarda di Borgomasino) comes from Italy. According to DNA analyses carried out in 2020, it originates from a presumably natural cross between Malvasia Aromatica di Parma x Croatina. No stock was reported in 2016 (Kym Anderson statistics). See also under Bonarda.
In the past, you needed a wealth of encyclopaedias and specialist literature to keep up to date in your vinophile professional life. Today, Wine lexicon from wein.plus is one of my best helpers and can rightly be called the "bible of wine knowledge".
