A few days before the opening of Expo 2015 in Milan, the opportunity for a remarkable tasting: Olianas wines- Vermentino and Rosato – narrated by Anna Baj Macario, who produces them. With a 100% BioIntegral approach.
“Give more territory to our wines: this is the key with which we have embraced the BioIntegral philosophy, an approach that sees the re-use of ancient agricultural practices in favour of the recovery of the growing environment and, consequently, of the area as a whole.”
“Our respect for nature does not come from fashion or marketing factors, but from our own, intimate, conscious awareness: to create a real synergy with nature to leave our children a better environment than the one we inherited ourselves. Starting from the cultivation one. ”
“Quoting Mother Teresa of Calcutta, I believe that we should live in the country (and of the country) feeling like a small drop in the immensity of the ocean: in Olianas we perceive our projects in the BioIntegral field not as exploitation of the earth but as development of the area as a whole, bringing back nature to its primary essence. Our wines are not just simply biological, but they have the caliber of high quality products. With a plus: they are completely natural. ”
“Beware fake ghosts: words like sulfur or sulfites have become forbidden losing their, in some cases, positive connotation. The sulfur not only can, but must be present, where the vintage year so requires. Of course, before bottling. ”
“Our Vermentino, for example, has a remarkable freshness that we have built in the vineyard, not in the cellar. We collect the grapes at two different times, with two separate harvests: one part, when it is not too mature to give freshness; the other when instead it reaches a higher level of ripening to give structure. The result is an extremely cool but very well structured Vermentino. ”
“We returned its specific identity to the Rosé: ours is not a simple mixture of white and red, but comes from a specific sector of our vineyards, specifically identified for the Rosé. They are in the valley, where the cannonau reaches lower maturity. And what could be a limit, in a perspective of respect for nature becomes a specificity of a terroir. ”
