Description
San Marzano ‘Il Pumo’ Negroamaro is deep ruby red in colour with black-violet reflections. The nose is intense and delivers a persistent bouquet of blackberry and juicy bramble fruit, which is complemented by delicate notes of spice and thyme. A full-bodied red with impeccable balance and a velvety soft and harmonious palate packed full of delicious flavours of Southern Italy. The finish is drawn out with enduring pleasurable flavours.
In 1962, 19 vine growers from the small town of San Marzano whose families had farmed the land for generations, combined their efforts to establish ‘Cantine San Marzano’. Through the decades this cooperative has grown significantly, attracting over 1,200 vine growers. Using modern and technologically advanced vinification techniques they produce elegant wines that pay homage to the ancient Apulian wine traditions. The fusion of time honoured tradition, passion and contemporary techniques, enables this winery to produce wines with distinctive varietal and regional characteristics while reflecting the local terroir. In 2021, San Marzano was awarded the ‘Cooperative Winery of the Year Award’ by Gambero Rosso.
