Castel del Monte Bombino Nero

Wine · PDO · 10 municipalities

Unlike neighboring Puglian appellations that offer diverse wine styles, Castel del Monte Bombino Nero is strictly dedicated to a single category: dry rosato. Recognized as a DOCG in 2011, this highly specialized territory spans ten municipalities, including Andria and Minervino Murge, where twenty verified producers cultivate the land. The strict production guidelines mandate a maximum yield of 12.0 tons per hectare and require at least 90% Bombino Nero grapes. The resulting pink wine must reach a minimum alcohol level of 12.0% vol with a maximum residual sugar of 10 grams per liter, delivering a delicate, dry, and harmonious profile.
