The Il Pumo Sauvignon 2016 San Marzano is a delightful expression of the Salento region in Italy. This wine presents a straw yellow color with green reflections, hinting at its freshness.
On the nose, it offers a floral bouquet with prominent notes of broom and citrus, complemented by subtle hints of tropical fruits.
The palate is lively and refreshing, characterized by a good acidity that balances the wine’s mineral undertones. This Sauvignon Blanc is both elegant and vibrant, making it an excellent pairing for starters, fish soups, soft cheeses, and light fish dishes.
The Il Pumo Sauvignon 2016 San Marzano is crafted with meticulous attention to detail. The grapes are harvested at optimal ripeness to ensure the best balance of acidity and flavor. After harvesting, the grapes undergo a gentle pressing to extract the juice, which is then fermented at controlled temperatures. This process helps to preserve the fresh and aromatic qualities of the Sauvignon Blanc grape.
The Il Pumo Sauvignon 2016 San Marzano is aged in stainless steel tanks to maintain its crisp and vibrant character. This method of aging ensures that the wine retains its natural fruitiness and acidity, without the influence of oak. The result is a wine that is both refreshing and expressive, showcasing the unique terroir of the Salento region.
Malvasia
Malvasia is a fascinating group of wine grape varieties grown historically in the Mediterranean region, including the Balearic Islands, Canary Islands, and the island of Madeira. The name “Malvasia” refers to a range of 20 to 70 different grapes, predominantly white, with some that are light red.
Sauvignon Blanc
Zesty, fragrant sauvignon blanc is probably the most popular white wine variety in the world right now. But while tropical-fruit tinged New Zealand sauvignon style graces every wine list in the country, it’s worth discovering that there’s much more to this aromatic grape variety than Marlborough.
In its homeland of the Loire Valley, France, sauvignon blanc showcases its aromatic character and refreshing acidity at its best in the form of pure, zesty wines.
The other key region in France for top-quality sauvignon blanc is Bordeaux. It is here that the variety finds itself in bed with its most frequent blending partner, semillon, creating arguably the world’s finest sweet wines in the form of Sauternes and Barsac, along with good quantities of dry, fresh, white wines.
