Whites with many faces: mineral and taut at Chablis (lemon, green apple, flint), opulent and buttery at Meursault and Puligny-Montrachet (hazelnut, brioche, yellow fruits), tense and chalky in Champagne (Blanc de Blancs). Also vinified sparkling and widely exported (Sonoma, Margaret River, Casablanca). A Burgundian variety, a cross of Pinot Noir × Gouais Blanc, half-sibling of Aligoté.
First DOC of Puglia (1968) in the northern Capitanata, Tavoliere plain around San Severo, alluvial and calcareous soils. Bombino Bianco as the signature white (40–60%) blended with Trebbiano Toscano: dry and light with delicate citrus, herbs and a subtle mineral touch, preserved acidity and low alcohol — ideal as frizzante and spumante. Malvasia del Chianti and Verdeca as complements. Montepulciano and Sangiovese as soft, fruity reds.
