As summer reaches its peak, August invites us to indulge in long alfresco evenings, leisurely lunches, and time spent with loved ones. It’s a time to slow down, embrace the sun-drenched season, and enjoy the vibrant flavours of Southern Italy. At Terre Di San Vito, we’re bringing you the very best of Puglia with artisan gift boxes, rich and flavourful wines, and traditional recipes that transform simple ingredients into something truly special.

Here’s how to savour August the Italian way…

A Toast to Summer: Start With Mòsi Rosé

No summer evening should begin without something fresh and vibrant, and our Mòsi Rosé

is the perfect way to start. Made from a blend of Malbec and Bombino Nero, this delicate rosé offers an intense aroma and a fresh, soft taste that pairs beautifully with light summer dishes. Serve it chilled with a selection of antipasti for a classic Italian aperitivo. We recommend pairing with grilled artichokes, olives, and focaccia for an effortlessly elegant start to the evening.

Celebrate With a Taste of Puglia

Whether you’re planning a summer get-together or simply treating yourself to something special, our artisan gift boxes are designed to bring the essence of Puglia straight to your table. Each box is filled with carefully selected products, handpicked from our family-run business and inspired by generations of Italian tradition.

One of our favourites this month is The Zio Mario

, a generous and beautifully presented box that showcases the best of what we offer. With a bottle of our rich Malbec wine, Puglian taralli infused with Malbec, and a selection of complementary treats, it’s the perfect centrepiece for a summer celebration — or a thoughtful gift for a host.

From Our Kitchen to Yours

We love to celebrate the seasons through food, and August’s bounty is ideal for bringing out the bold, sun-drenched flavours of Puglia. If you’re looking for inspiration, why not try our Traditional Orecchiette with Turnip Tops

? This iconic Apulian dish is as simple as it is satisfying — the bitterness of the greens pairs beautifully with the richness of the pasta.

For something lighter, we recommend our Burrata & Heritage Tomato Salad

, bursting with colour and flavour. It’s an effortless dish that highlights the quality of fresh ingredients, especially when finished with a drizzle of our extra virgin olive oil.

Our Favourite Summer Sips

August also gives us the perfect excuse to open a bottle of something special. Our Il Vescovo Black Label

is a bold and elegant red wine, made with 60% Malbec, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 10% Carménère grapes. Aged in oak barrels for 24 months, this wine offers a full-bodied taste with soft tannins and a long finish — perfect for pairing with grilled meats or rich pasta dishes.

If you’re looking for something a little sweeter to enjoy with dessert, our Cantiniere

is a lightly sweet Primitivo with notes of ripe berries and spice. It’s a beautiful match for dark chocolate desserts or simply enjoyed on its own as the sun sets on a warm evening.

This month, we’re celebrating everything that makes Puglia so special — from its sun-ripened produce to its winemaking heritage and culinary traditions.
