Rivera Pungirosa Bombino Nero Rose 2025 - 750ml

91pts Falstaff

Bright pink. On the nose, gentle notes of elderberries and elderflower, subtle hints of bitter orange, and light hints of acacia blossoms. On the palate, slightly fruity, with green, herbaceous notes, and a juicy quality; overall, it comes across as somewhat raw.

Tasting Notes

Purple-flecked onion skin color; delicate bouquet with notes of rose, cherry and sage; fruity and yet crisp on the palate, with a subtle vein of acidity; lengthy and mineral finish.

An ideal aperitif, perfectly complements seafood appetizers and pastas as well as fish and poultry. Serve at 10-12 °C.

About the Wine

Combining the most modern practices and equipment and its decades -long know how in rosè winemaking, Rivera has succeeded in crafting a distinctive rosé that reflects the unique characteristics of the Bombino Nero grape, a variety that is so peculiar to the Castel del Monte area and so suitable to rosé wine production to have deserved, the only one in Italy, the D.O.C.G. status. Our Pungirosa is a crisp, refreshing rosé bursting with flavor, with a forward, vivacious fruitiness that makes it a great companion to most
dishes. Enjoy it also as a wonderfully appealing aperitif.

Grape Varietal: 100% Bombino Nero. Indigenous to the Castel del Monte
area, it is perfect for rosè wine production due to its thin skin, hi-acidlow-sugar must and the high level of free-run juice that allows no
pressing of the skins.
