As summer begins to mellow into late August, we find ourselves savouring every last moment of sunshine. It’s a time for long lunches, warm evenings, and reconnecting with friends and family before the busy autumn months begin. Whether you're planning a relaxed alfresco dinner or a more special gathering, Terre Di San Vito offers everything you need to create a memorable and authentic Italian dining experience.
From award-winning organic wines to traditional antipasti and artisan treats, here’s how to host a beautiful late summer get-together — Puglian style.
Start with Sharing
A true Italian meal is about more than food — it’s about sharing. Bring everyone together with a vibrant antipasti platter featuring our most-loved products, including Taralli with Malbec, rich cheeses, and your favourite Italian charcuterie.
Our handmade taralli are a traditional Puglian snack, crafted with our own Malbec wine for a subtle, savoury twist. Serve them with a bowl of olives and some fresh focaccia for a simple but crowd-pleasing start to the evening.
Pairing Perfection: Choose the Right Wine
Great wine elevates every occasion, and at Terre Di San Vito, our wines are made with care, passion, and the very best of what the Puglia region has to offer.
For red wine lovers, our Il Vescovo Black Label 2014, is a showstopper. This bold, elegant blend of 60% Malbec, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Carménère is oak-aged for 24 months and pairs beautifully with grilled meats, roasted vegetables, and hard cheeses.
Prefer something lighter? Our Mòsi Rosé, is a refreshing option made with Malbec and Bombino Nero grapes. It’s perfect for sipping as the sun goes down, or served alongside seafood, salads, or summer canapés.
Feature Flavour: Cantiniere Primitivo
Looking for a wine that brings something special to the table? Our Cantiniere Primitivo is a soft, gently sweet red wine made from the famous Primitivo grape. It’s ideal served with fruit-based desserts, soft cheeses, or even on its own as an after-dinner drink. Its naturally sweet character and rich fruit notes offer the perfect finish to a summer meal.
Bring the Meal Together: Gifting & Hosting Essentials
If you’re the guest rather than the host, why not bring a gift that’s guaranteed to impress? Our Zio Mario Gift Box is packed with our favourite artisan treats and a bottle of our organic Malbec — an ideal way to say thank you, or to introduce someone to the flavours of Puglia.
This gift box is also a great way to stock up on entertaining essentials. From antipasti to dessert, it offers a ready-made collection of flavours that reflect the authenticity and passion behind everything we do.
Sweet Moments, Italian Style
No celebration is complete without a sweet treat. Whether you’re planning a full dessert or just want to offer something small to finish the meal, Italian tradition has you covered.
Instead of the black olive pâté previously mentioned, we recommend ending with our beautifully indulgent Malbec Grape Conserve, Made with our own Malbec grapes, it’s delicious served with soft cheeses, spread on biscuits, or even spooned over panna cotta or vanilla gelato. Its rich, fruity sweetness adds a special touch to any dessert spread.
Pair with a small glass of Cantiniere Primitivo and you’ve got a dessert course to remember.
