Areas of cultivation It is predominantly spread in Lombardy, especially in Oltrepò Pavese and some neighboring areas.
History Known from ancient times, which by the name of bonarda di Rovescala has already been quoted in a document of 1192. Very often this vine is improperly called "bonarda", which is instead the name of a wine of the Oltrepò Pavese and the Colli Piacentini, produced by this vine. This confusion was born with another vine, bonarda, typically Piedmontese.

Characteristics of the wine obtained from this grape variety It gives color and acidity to the assembled wines. Generally the palate is dry, with good and lively tannins and a discreet balanced flavor with a good sour acne, sometimes even slightly sparkling.
Notes Resistance to adversity: Croatina has a remarkable resistance to the oge; To the mildew, however, a resistance not superior to the common. It is also quite resistant to rotten grapes, at least in the non-rainy vineyards. She's tempted. In some springs unexpectedly manifests a low emission of floral bunches.
