There are four red wine grapes commonly referred to as Bonarda. Th Argentinians grow one of these, which turn out to be be of French origin, Courbeau Noir, otherwise known as Charbonneau from the Savoie region. I have tasted some examples of these Argentinian wines, which will be dealt with in another tidbit later. The other one I have tasted is Croatina, named for its Croatian origin - the grape used in the wine above. I have not been able to taste the other two yet - Uva Rara (which despite its name is not actually rare) and Bonarda Piemontese which makes a light fruity wine from the area around Turin.
