Label / history
The Pumo is a traditional decorative object that has adorned balconies and the handrails of old stairways in Puglia for centuries. Fashioned from the clay that once nourished the vines, it symbolizes nature’s abundance and generosity. Its varying colours across the range evoke different grape varieties and appellations.
