The wine is neither filtered, clarified, or barriqued. Ample red fruit and spice on the nose; evocative of Mediterranean scrub and gives way to citrus, plum then hazelnut and liquorice. A true expression of Sardinia!
Notes on the producer
Tenute Dettori is located in the extreme north-west corner of Sardinia, in the Romangia del Logudoro area, the “golden place” between Sassari and Castelsardo. This historic hinterland is the classic home of the Cannonau grape, where it flourishes on the high hillslopes that form a natural theatre facing the Gulf of Asinara at only 4 kilometres from the sea. Here, at Badde Nigolosu, Tenute Dettori cultivates solely ancient clones native to Sardinia, tending them in accord with the tenets of biodynamic agriculture.
is motto is : "My wine is only made with grapes. Meaning that he does not use any synthetic chemicals apart from sulphur: no added yeasts, no enzymes, or any other adjuvant either in fermentation or in maturation."
