The best wineries in Bari.
A long family tradition that has always had its roots in agriculture. Filippo Cassano, in 2003, wanted to develop an ambitious project aimed to enhance Primitivo and other native vines in the production of quality wines. He bought and restored a historic manor farm located in the Marchesana area, a district of Gioia del Colle, which, between 1860 and 1880, already welcomed stretches of fine saplings of Primitivo.
The name POLVANERA stems from the characteristic dark color of the land surrounding the farm. Annexed to the manor farm, the modern winery. Really welcoming in its rustic elegance is the tasting room.
The structure of the wine cellar is carved into the rock and reaches about 8 feet deep. Of karst formation, its constant temperature and humidity throughout the year constitute the fundamental characteristics of utility and beauty. In this place, the wines of Polvanera mature, refine and rest, those wines that, together with other leading producers, have become the Brand of reference of te DOC Primitivo Gioia del Colle.
The harvest takes place the second week of September. Modern facilities of pressing and vinification contribute to the implementation of the Organic aim of the company, that draws on the expertise of Filippo Cassano, oenologist for passion, along with his valuable employees, who treat with absolute dedication the whole world of the winery.
Our wine comes from here. In the most wild and rugged part of the north–western part of Murgia, in a land where the history of mankind merges with the colors of nature.
Stone shapes the landscape, and is the undisputed queen of the environment, cluttered with stone walls, small houses, jazzi and rural churches. Sunny landscapes, however, are soften by aligned crops, fruit of the labor of man and of the austere beauty of a big lone oak. The contours of the hills are gentle, the autumn colors are warm, the small berries of the land north of Puglia are fragrant. Here our estate is located, just a few steps from the stunning harmonies of Castel del Monte, in the “Torre del Vento” district, where an ancient monastery of the eighteenth century, surrounded by 200 hectares of land, has been home to the heart of the company since 1948, the year in which the brothers Francesco and Domenico Liantonio bought the Torrevento Estate continuing the activity of producing wines that had seen its beginnings in 1920 in Palo del Colle.
Since then, a winemaking tradition of rural character has been handed down from generation to generation, and even today is the strength of our company.
In a rough and stony land, we recover and enhance native grape varieties suited to express the viticulture vocation of the whole territory of Puglia.
Large wine cellars carved into the rock of the Benedictine monastery preserve our precious wine, that ages in precious oak barrels and small barriques, according to the ancient local winemaking traditions, which today combine by more gentle winemaking techniques.
Chiaromonte is a historic company, founded in 1826, which in recent years has worked hard to expand and improve the quality of its products. Nicola Chiaromonte, representative of the latest generation of this family of winegrowers, is the owner of the winery and also oenologist. Next to the old grapevine trees there are now some new espalier plants, all grown organically. Just one variety of grapes is grown and used for the realization of the five labels of the company: primitivo.
The Cristiano Guttarolo Wineries are hosted within an ancient farmhouse located in the Murgia plateau about 400 meters above sea level.
The company was founded from a project aimed at promoting the culture of wine and the redevelopment of this grape variety that, in the countryside of Gioia del Colle, is expressed with particular elegance thanks to the altitude and the extreme temperature changes between day and night, as well as for good ventilation and the peculiarities of karst terrain of the Murgia area.
Our passion, experience and tradition have met those of the Orfino family, through the marriage of Rosa Orfino and Filippo Petrera (fourth generation) and in 1988 appears, in the small cellar dug into the rock, the first bottle of the 1987 vintage marked Fatalone.
The corporate brand originates from Filippo Petrera (second generation), son of Nicola, who was at the time dubbed “Il Fatalone”. Quickly became the nickname of the family, “Fatalone”, in local parlance, means “seducer” or “one who can boast an irresistible charm on women”, a bit like the legendary Don Giovanni. Filippo Petrera lived until he was 98 years old, between Bacchus and Venus, having breakfast every morning even to his last day with half a liter of fresh milk and half a liter of Primitivo wine.
In 1987, at the beginning as bottlers, we were the first to launch the challenge of vinifying and bottling Primitivo grapes in single–variety. In 1993 also Greco came, for the desire to test ourselves with this noble white grape variety.
In 2000, our vocation for the promotion and development of the area led us to create the Consortium for the Protection and Promotion of the Gioia del Colle DOC wines.
Ours is a small family–run farm, always strictly devoted to the practice of organic farming as a lifestyle, not as a form of business trend, with respect for nature and for all living beings, first and foremost for ourselves. As a guarantee of our activity, since 2000 we have placed ourselves under the control of the Ethical and Environmental Certification Institution, which certifies our organic production, even according to the American standards of the N.O.P. (National Organic Program).
