The "Pumo" is a 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. The wine range has a spectrum of colours, declination of varieties and Appellations.
