Most of us have never heard of bonarda.
Until a few years ago it was Argentina's leading variety.
So how does a grape that makes up so much of the South American
landscape suffer with such obscurity?
Bonarda is used to boost the flavor and color of Argentina's most acclaimed variety, malbec.
Lately, bonarda is showing up in some interesting blends and in some solo presentations as well.
Bonarda's heritage is not clear.
Many say it comes from Piedmont,
Italy. It has been associated with croatina, Bonarda Piemontese, barbera bonarda, and charbono.
U.C. Davis, our premier viticultural university has been investigating its roots,
but has yet to come up with an exact lineage for this grape.
Argentina experienced a mass influx of Italians at the turn of the twentieth century.
There are areas in Argentina that are indistinguishable from an Italian village.
Argentina's population grew by over 30% during these years and a majority of this growth came
from Western Europe.
These immigrants not only brought their culture but brought the beloved grapes of their homeland,
whose names may have changed and homogenized as trade secrets and vineyards were handed down over
generations.
Altos Las Hormigas, producers of Colonia Las Liebres, is a collaboration between renoun importer Marc de Grazia,
winemaker Attilio Pagli, and vineyard owners of Le Terrazze, Antonio Moraschalchi, Antonio Terni,
and Alberto Antonini of Antinori.
The discovery of old vine malbec and bonarda in Argentina prompted them to nuture
and market wines from these high altitute, old vine vineyards.
Most bottles of bonarda, like their Italian cousins,
have a touch of structure and a generous dose of acidity making them great choices for hearty foods.
They are scarce, but their quality and value make them worth seeking out.
