Grape variety: Bombino Bianco

Description:

Bright straw yellow with greenish highlights. Fragrant on the nose, with notes of ripe grapes, green apple, and wildflowers. On the palate, it is ample, soft, savory, and fresh, with good aromatic persistence and a full, slightly citrusy finish that is never heavy.
Excellent as an aperitif and with light Roman dishes: zucchini flowers, salads, and battered fish fillets. It also pairs well with simple first courses, white meats, shellfish, creamy risottos, and fresh cheeses.

The Bombino grapes reach perfect ripeness thanks to the ancient volcanic soils, rich in potassium, phosphorus, and magnesium, which give the wine its characteristic minerality. The hillside vineyards, located between Monteporzio and Frascati in the hills surrounding Rome, enjoy excellent exposure and benefit from the constant, gentle breeze that tempers the heat of summer days. Harvesting is strictly manual, with careful selection of the finest bunches. Vinification is off-the-skin, with meticulous temperature control to preserve the varietal's finest aromas.
