| List of grape varieties | |
The autochthonous red grape variety Bombino Nero is grown in the Italian regions of Apulia , Basilicata , Latium and Sardinia . In 1999 a planted vineyard area of around 2,000 hectares was raised.
The high-yielding variety is used either for blending with other red varieties such as Uva di Troia , Aglianico and Montepulciano or for rosé wines such as in the DOC area Castel del Monte . The DOCG wine Castel del Monte Bombino Nero is also offered in the same area .
Bombino Nero has a medium-sized grape tassel with a very unusual pyramid shape, reminiscent of a child with outspread arms. Hence the name Bambino ( Italian : child), and finally Bombino, was given to the variety . It is a variety of the noble grapevine ( Vitis vinifera ). It has hermaphroditic flowers and is therefore self-fruiting. In viticulture , the economic disadvantage of not having to grow male plants that produce yield is avoided.
