Visita Oliena

The village of handicraft!
The town of Oliena stretches out on the lower slopes of Monte Corrasi. Famed for its handicrafts, in particular its carved wooden chests for storing the local pa-per-thin bread, pane carasau, Oliena has a living tradition of silk shawl embroi-dery and incredibly intricate filigree jewellery. One of the town's main claims to international fame is its Nepente, a rich Cannonau-grape wine made locally and which was once celebrated by Italian poet D’Annunzio, whose words now feature on the wine’s label.
