The cellar
Polvanera was born from a long family tradition that has always had roots in viticulture.
There passion of Filippo Cassano
Filippo Cassano, owner and winemaker, has always believed in the potential of Puglia’s Primitivo. Raised among the vineyards and the experience of his father Vincenzo, and trained at the winemaking school “Basile Caramia” of Locorotondo, has chosen a pure winemaking process, capable of enhancing the unique identity of the territory. Polvanera, located between Acquaviva delle Fonti and Gioia del Colle, opens onto a fascinating landscape, made up of orderly vineyards, dry stone walls and downy oak trunks that tell the history of Puglia.
There Cellar: Beauty and Functionality
The Polvanera cellar is unique: carved 8 meters into the limestone rock, it allows wines to age at a constant temperature, combining aesthetics and functionality. Next door is a historic farmhouse dating back to 1820, with its rustic charm, welcoming guests into an authentic and evocative atmosphere.
A Strategic Territory
Nestled in a highly attractive tourist area of Puglia, Polvanera is just twenty minutes from the Itria Valley and Matera, making it the perfect destination for those who want to combine wine and discover the region. The harvest, which begins in the first ten days of September, uses modern pressing and vinification facilities, supporting a production Bio respectful of the environment and tradition.
There Pursuit of Excellence
Filippo, together with his team and the support of his family, is pursuing an ambitious project: to promote Primitivo and other native grape varieties, expressing the passion, quality, and authenticity of Puglia through every bottle. Each wine is a sensory experience that reflects the land, history, and soul of Polvanera.
