Pungirosa · Castel del Monte Bombino Nero Rosato DOCG 2025

  Rivera's Pungirosa Castel del Monte Bombino Nero Rosato presents itself in the glass in a delicate salmon pink with slightly shimmering reflections that underline its freshness and liveliness. The nose reveals a delicate, inviting bouquet of red berries such as strawberries and raspberries, complemented by floral notes and a hint of spicy herbal freshness that reflect the Mediterranean character of the region. The wine's particular elegance comes from the use of the indigenous Bombino Nero grape variety, which reaches its full potential in the calcareous and clayey soils of the Castel del Monte hills.

On the palate, Pungirosa displays a lively, refreshing acidity that harmoniously carries the fruity aromas, while its fine structure and supple tannins create an elegant balance. The finish is long-lasting and slightly mineral, subtly expressing the origin of the terroir. A special feature of this wine lies not only in its origin, but also in its name, “Pungirosa,” which evokes the sparkling liveliness and zesty freshness of Rosatos. This wine is a charming expression of the Apulian wine tradition, delighting both as an aperitif and with light Mediterranean dishes. - Gerardo [TS10/26]
