Bonarda is a name applied to several different grape varieties used to make red wine :
- Bonarda Piemontese is grown in Piedmont, around Turin, and makes a light, fruity wine.
- Croatina grown in Lombardy, around Pavia, is known as Bonarda dell'Oltrepò Pavese, making a very tannic wine similar in style to Piedmont's Dolcetto.
