It stands out for its fresh, mineral and well-balanced character.
TECHNICAL SHEET
WINEMAKING
The grapes are gently pressed and the free-run must is immediately separated from the skins in order to preserve freshness and delicate aromatic expression.
After clarification, the must is racked and fermented at a controlled temperature.
Following fermentation, the wine is stored in stainless steel tanks and then undergoes secondary fermentation in pressurised tanks according to the Charmat Method, with the addition of selected yeasts, sugars and mineral salts. Fermentation generally lasts between 15 and 20 days.
The sparkling wine is then transferred to another pressurised tank through isobaric filtration, chilled to encourage tartaric stabilisation, and subjected to further temperature-controlled filtrations before final bottling.
Alcoholic content: 12% Vol.

Symbol of our identity
The Cannonau grape
Wine has written the history of our community since 1665 when the Jesuit priests started the cultivation of grapes and olives. It is estimated that in 18th century they had already planted 80.000 vines of Cannonau. Wine has been a distinctive badge of pride in Oliena since then and has become part of its culture to the point that here Cannonau is not a wine like others, here in Oliena it has its own name. In fact the Cannonau of Oliena is also known and appreciated by the name of Nepente.
