Notes
-----
This is a very interesting wine, hard to find in the U.S.; I
got mine at the Enoteca in Italy. It's a lightly sparkling
(frizzante) sweet red wine. The color is a nice purply-red;
the nose is mostly the smell of carbonation, with sweet
cherries underneath. The flavor is nice; sweet, but only
mildly sweet. It has a kind of sharp acidity. Oddly (well,
seems odd to me for a sweet wine), it does have noticeable
tannins. It's a pleasant wine, and fairly unusual, but not
destined to become one of my favorites. That's probably a
good thing considering its relative unavailability in my
area.

Production Notes
----------------
The grape known in the region as Bonarda is actually the
Croatina grape.
