Il Pumo Malvasia-Sauvignon

The Il Pumo range of wines is named after the decorative object that has adorned balconies and handrails of ancient stairways in Puglia for centuries. A symbol of nature’s abundance and generosity, made from the clay that once nourished the vines, this wine range reflects the spectrum of varieties from the coastal peninsula.

Their Malvasia-Sauvignon uses grapes fermented in stainless steel with no oak contact. The result is a lemon wine with green reflections showing floral notes of broom, citrus and tropical fruits on the nose. The palate is lively in acidity, with great freshness and minerality. Try with light starters and fish dishes, or soft cheeses. 

San Marzano winery is based in the same-named small town that lies right in the centre of the prestigious Primitivo di Manduria appellation – a strip of land between the seas that wash over Italy’s Puglia region. Winemaking since the 1960’s, San Marzano now have 120 hectares – their garden by the sea – showcasing true Mediterranean beauty.
