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 the clay that once nourished the vines, it symbolizes the abundance and generosity of nature. The Il Pumo range interprets that symbol through different colours, grape varieties and appellations.
