Wine produced from Bombino grapes, a vine that is typical of norther Apulia. Its growing in this area dates back to a long time ago and Spiavento aims at rediscovering its tradition. The name Bombino gave rise to several schools of thoughts, the most reliable being the one that regognize a likeness with the words "buon vino" (good wine); these two words together in the Apulian dialect would form the word "Bombino".
Ideal for raw and cooked fish meals, possibly saltwater fish. Very good as aperitif, too perhaps accompanied by toasted bread in white sauce and fresh sweet-and-sour vegetables. Easy drinking wine, it does not need a long aging in bottle, but it keeps its qualities intact even after a couple of years.
