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.
