WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Cannonau Le Anfore Olianas 2022 is produced using a philosophy that prioritizes natural processes and environmental respect. Grapes are hand-harvested and sorted before undergoing fermentation with indigenous yeasts. A key technique is the use of earthenware amphorae for both fermentation and aging, a method that allows the wine to develop its character with minimal external influence. Olianas practices organic viticulture, avoiding synthetic chemicals and relying on natural compost for fertilization, reflecting their commitment to sustainability and the 'BioIntegrale' approach.
