Founded in 2003 by Filippo Cassano, Cantine Polvanera has quickly become a leading name in the Gioia del Colle DOC, a prestigious wine region in Puglia, Italy. Polvanera is recognized for its significant role in revitalizing the Primitivo grape, known for its robust and high-alcohol wines that nonetheless retain remarkable freshness and juiciness.

Polvanera’s vineyards are a mix of young proprietary plantings and leased old Alberello vineyards. These ancient bushvines, some as old as 70 years, are vital in producing their premium wines. The Primitivo 17, crafted from these venerable vines, is especially renowned, consistently earning the prestigious 3 bicchieri award from Gambero Rosso year after year. This accolade highlights the consistent quality and craftsmanship of Polvanera’s wines.

Situated at an elevation of 400 meters, Polvanera’s vineyards benefit from a unique combination of abundant sunlight and cooling breezes. This microclimate is ideal for preserving the freshness and purity of the grapes, contributing to the vibrant and mineral qualities of their wines. Another distinguishing feature of Cantine Polvanera is their commitment to organic certification. The vineyards are fully managed according to organic principles, and no wood is used during the fermentation or aging processes. This approach ensures that the wines retain their intrinsic freshness and purity without external influences.

In addition to their famed Primitivo, Polvanera produces exceptional aromatic white wines from rare grape varieties such as Minutolo and Bianco d’Alessano. These varietals add an extra layer of diversity and innovation to their wine portfolio, showcasing the winery’s versatility.

Cantine Polvanera’s dedication to both traditional techniques and modern organic practices makes their wines a perfect reflection of the terroir and the winemaker’s passion. Whether you are a fan of robust red wines or seeking refined white options, Polvanera offers an unparalleled experience that celebrates the rich heritage and innovative spirit of Puglia.
