Bonarda blends well with varieties that can give it more what?

Structure refers to the backbone of a wine—the tannins, acidity, and how the wine develops with age. Bonarda often brings bright fruit and lively acidity, but its tannic framework can be lighter. Blending it with varieties that contribute more tannin and a firmer mouthfeel adds the necessary backbone, giving the wine greater balance and aging potential. While aromas, color, and even perceived body can change with blends, the key benefit of pairing Bonarda with these varieties is the added structure that steadies the wine and helps it age gracefully.
