Vinification
Harvest takes place from August through September. The grapes are gently pressed, then undergo low-temperature alcoholic fermentation off the skins. A second fermentation takes place in autoclave.

Label / history
The Pumo is a traditional decorative object that has adorned balconies and the handrails of old stairways in Puglia for centuries. Made from clay that once nourished the vines, it represents nature’s abundance and generosity; across this range, it appears in a spectrum of colours corresponding to different grapes and appellations.
