Bianco 'Il Pumo' San Marzano 2024

White 'Il Pumo' San Marzano takes its name from the pumo, the traditional ceramic bud that decorates balconies and houses in Puglia as a symbol of prosperity and good omen. It is crafted by San Marzano, a winery in the heart of Salento capable of telling its land with fresh and accessible labels, designed for everyday dining.

Il Pumo Bianco is born from the meeting of Malvasia Bianca and Sauvignon Blanc, grown on trellises in the San Marzano area at about 100 meters above sea level, on shallow and medium-textured soils. The harvest takes place in August, then the grapes are destemmed and gently pressed. After a cold static decantation, the must ferments in steel at 16 °C, where the wine matures until bottling.

This Salento white presents a straw yellow color with greenish reflections. On the nose, it offers floral notes of broom, citrus, and exotic fruit. On the palate, it is fresh and mineral, with a light and savory sip. Ideal as an aperitif, with fish soups, fresh cheeses, and first courses with light dressings.
