On the Olianas estate BioIntegrale practices start with a vital choice: growing only autochthonous vines, those special Sardinian varieties that are part of the local tradition and reflect the region’s characteristics and local culture. This variety grows in sandy-clay soil, and accounts for approximately 66% of our red grapes. We then have vermentino, another local grape passionately grown by Sardinians for hundreds of years, which covers over 75% of our white grape vineyards. To the our land and nurture the vines we rely on sound, time-honored, traditional practices, such as organic manuring and green manure. We hand-harvest our grapes, make them into wine without using foreign yeasts, and age the grape nectar in amphorae, to bring out the heart and soul of the vine and soil.
