In 2003, following a long family tradition in Agriculture, Filippo Cassano started an ambitious project aimed at increasing the reputation of ‘Primitivo’ and other native grapes used for the production of quality wines in his area. For this reason, he bought and restored an old manor farm in the rural area of Marchesana, near Gioia del Colle, with significant plantings of remarkable old Primitivo bush vines dating back to between 1860 and 1880.

The term POLVANERA derives from the typical dark colour of the fields surrounding the manor farm. Next to it is a modern wine cellar with a traditional stone-built tasting space. The wine cellar has been created in the living rock reaching a maximum depth of 8 meters underground. This Limestone cellar, with constant temperature and humidity during the year is a fitting trademark of our wine’s beauty. For this is where POLVANERA wines mature and develop – on their path to becoming Primitivo Gioia del Colle DOC wines.


The grape harvest normally starts during the second week of September. Modern pressing and vinification systems allied to Filippo Cassano’s unique blend of solid training in winemaking and innovative brilliance plus his partners’ support, are the secrets of the thrilling quality of the estate’s certified organic wines.
