History	Bombino Bianco, also known as Trebbiano d'Abruzzo, is believed to have originated in the Italian region of Abruzzo. The grape has been cultivated in this region for centuries, with evidence of its presence dating back to the Roman era. The grape's name, Bombino, translates to 'small bomb', a reference to the round shape of the grape clusters.
Ampelographic features	The leaves of the Bombino Bianco are medium in size, usually with five lobes, and have a pentagonal shape. The leaf's upper surface is dark green and matte, while the underside is a lighter shade of green. The grape clusters are medium to large, often with a conical or cylindrical shape. They are typically semi-sparrow in layout. The grapes themselves are medium to large, with a spheroidal shape. They possess a thick skin which is yellowish in colour, often speckled with brown.
Characteristics of the wine	Wines made from the Bombino Bianco grape are typically dry and light-bodied, with a pale straw color. They often exhibit a fresh and crisp acidity, with subtle flavors of green apple, pear, and hints of almond. These wines are traditionally consumed young and pair well with seafood, poultry and light pasta dishes.
