Discover the grape variety: Bombino blanc
This grape variety was originally cultivated in the south of Italy, in the region of Puglia to be precise. Today, it can be found in many other Italian wine regions, including Abruzzo, Lazio, Marche, Emilia-Romagna, etc. In France, it is almost unknown. It certainly has many relatives of Italian origin, known or less known, without us being able to cite them with certainty, especially since we find identical synonyms for them. However, we can affirm that the Trebbiano of Abruzzo is not the white Bombino and that the black Bombino is not related to the white.

The word of the wine: Maturing (champagne)
After riddling, the bottles are stored on "point", upside down, with the neck of one bottle in the bottom of the other. The duration of this maturation is very important: in contact with the dead yeasts, the wine takes on subtle aromas and gains in roundness and fatness. A brut without year must remain at least 15 months in the cellar after bottling, a vintage 36 months.
