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.
As honorary chairman of the Domäne Wachau, it is the easiest and quickest way for me to access the wein.plus encyclopaedia when I have questions. The certainty of receiving well-founded and up-to-date information here makes it an indispensable guide.
