Bombino Bianco is an Italian white grape variety. It is one of the oldest and most widespread grape varieties in central-southern Italy, particularly extensively cultivated in the province of Foggia, especially in the vicinity of San Severo, where it constitutes an immense viticultural area. It is also grown in the Gargano area and in the Lucera region.
Its name derives from the shape of the cluster, which resembles a child with outstretched arms. Hence the name Bombino, a dialectal version of the Italian word "Bambino," which over time transformed into Bombino.
