“The Velvet Rebel”
This Negroamaro is plush, smooth, and brimming with southern Italian charm. Aromas of black cherry, ripe plum, and a touch of spice lead into a palate that’s generous yet balanced – juicy dark fruit layered with hints of cocoa and wild herbs. The texture is silky, the tannins soft, and the finish long, savoury, and moreish.
For when: the night’s young, the food’s hearty, and good conversation is guaranteed.
Pairs with: pizza, slow-cooked ragu, or simply a table full of friends.
If this wine were a song, it’d be a soulful ballad with just the right amount of grit.
San Marzano is one of Puglia’s most respected cooperatives, founded in 1962 by just 19 growers and now representing over a thousand families of winegrowers. Nestled between the Ionian and Adriatic seas, their vineyards thrive under warm sun and cooling breezes, producing wines of ripeness, balance, and distinct regional character. Il Pumo takes its name from the ornamental ceramic bud that decorates balconies across Puglia, a symbol of tradition, prosperity, and new beginnings, perfectly capturing the spirit of this wine.
