Croatina Wines

Croatina is a red grape variety primarily grown in the Lombardy and Piedmont regions of Italy. It produces robust, tannic wines with flavors of dark fruit, such as blackberry and plum, along with hints of spice and earth. The ABV for Croatina wines generally ranges from 12-14%. Its popularity is due to its ability to produce structured, age-worthy wines that reflect their terroir.

The varied soils and climates of Lombardy and Piedmont provide ideal conditions for Croatina, allowing the grape to develop its characteristic flavors and tannic structure. Croatina is often used in blends, particularly in the production of Oltrepò Pavese and Bonarda wines, where it adds depth and complexity. Its role in traditional Italian wine styles and its potential for producing high-quality, distinctive wines contribute to its enduring appeal among winemakers and wine lovers.
