Bombino Bianco is a typical variety of Puglia, growing mainly in the areas of Foggia, Bari and Lecce. It has no relationship with other grape varieties in Puglia, but according to recent studies it may have a parental relationship with the Impigno and Moscatello Selvatico varieties. The origins of Bombino Bianco are unclear; some say it was brought to Puglia by Knights Templar during the Crusades; others claim it originated in Spain. The name derives from child, because of the shape of the cluster that resembles a hugging child. This grape variety is characterized by a medium to large bunch with a cylindrical conical shape, and the berries are also round and large with a thick skin, a characteristic that makes it very resistant to most pests.

Bombino Nero takes its name from the Apulian way of saying baby, or even good wine. The cluster is conical and medium-sized with blue, round berries with thin skins. It is an atypical grape compared to other southern Italian grapes, not very suitable for the production of full-bodied wines; it is ideal for rosé wines. It grows almost entirely in Apulia and especially in the provinces of Foggia, Taranto and Bari, particularly in Castel del Monte.
