Cellar

Viticulture has always been a family tradition in that of Filippo Cassano, owner and oenologist, who has always been aware of the potential of primitivo in his area. Thanks to the experience of his father Vincenzo and his schooling at the 'Basile Caramia' school of oenology in Locorotondo, Filippo has focused on pure winemaking, exalting the indigenous and the territorial recognisability of Apulia. Situated between Acquaviva delle Fonti and Gioia del Colle, Polvanera is immersed in a unique landscape of vineyards, dry stone walls and oak barrels. The unusual and characteristic wine cellar is dug 8 metres into the limestone rock. The structure allows the wines to age at a constant temperature, combining utility and beauty. Attached is a historic farmhouse from 1820 with a rustic feel, used for hospitality. The farm is located in a very strategic area of Apulia for tourism: it is twenty minutes from both the Itria Valley and Matera. The grape harvest takes place in the first ten days of September. Modern pressing and winemaking facilities contribute to the realisation of the Bio proposal. Together with his precious collaborators and the support of his family, Filippo Cassano continues to pursue an ambitious project, aimed at enhancing the value of primitivo and other indigenous vines, continually exalting the quality of his products.

Description

'Macchia di gatto' is the flagship bubbly of the Polvanera cellars, a blend of indigenous white grapes including Maresco, Marchione and Falanghina whose vineyards are located in the 'Macchia di Gatto' district of the same name between the municipalities of Acquaviva delle Fonti, Casamassima and Sammichele di Bari.

Organoleptic characteristics: 

Brilliant straw colour. Dense, fine and persistent perlage. Delicate and nuanced nose, with pastry notes intertwined with hints of cedar and bergamot, followed by hints of apple, anise, fern and light floral. Taut, long and satisfying on the palate, with well-integrated effervescence and regenerating freshness

Storage time: 

2-3 years

Vinification 

Soft pressing of the grapes, alcoholic fermentation in temperature-controlled steel tanks
