Olianas

What Olianas does

Olianas (Società Agricola Olianas srl) is a Sardinian winery founded in 2001 by Stefano Casadei and the Olianas Family, operating 30 hectares of vineyards in the Sarcidano area of Gergei, central Sardinia. The company produces wines exclusively from indigenous Sardinian grape varieties — Cannonau, Vermentino, Bovale, Semidano, Nasco, and Malvasia — using a proprietary farming methodology called BioIntegrale, which extends beyond conventional organic and biodynamic protocols. Winemaking is conducted with minimal intervention: horse-drawn plowing, hand harvesting, native yeast fermentation, and aging in terracotta amphorae. Olianas holds Demeter certification for biodynamic agriculture.

The company operates a vertically integrated business model spanning production, hospitality, and direct-to-consumer distribution. Revenue is generated through three primary channels: wine sales (including e-commerce via the Casadei Family Group storefront at shop.famigliacasadei.it), on-site wine tourism experiences, and an on-premise restaurant branded La Cucina di Olianas. Olianas is a constituent of the Casadei Family Group, an ecosystem that also includes Tenuta Casadei (Tuscany), Castello del Trebbio, and Le Anfore di Elena Casadei, allowing cross-portfolio customer flow and shared distribution infrastructure. The company maintains a multilingual digital presence (Italian, English, German) and runs a content marketing initiative called the Vite newsletter in collaboration with Jessica Cani. No external investment or third-party ownership stakes have been disclosed, consistent with family-controlled ownership.
