Grape type: Black

Bombino Nero is a black grapevine, with blue grapes, a thin skin and a large compact bunch. It is a late ripening grape with high acidity and low sugar concentration values that do not make it suitable for making red wine, but it is perfect for the production of rosé.
Bombino Nero grape produces wines of ruby red colour, with a vinous and pleasant aroma. They are also dry, aromatic and have a balanced tannic taste.
This grape vine is perfect to be mixed with other grape varieties, such as Nero di Troia and Malvasia Nera, for the production of red and rosé.
