NATURAL WINES BY DETTORI
Tenute Dettori is at Sennori in Romangia, on the north coast of Sardinia. The family has farmed the Badde Nigolosu hillside since the early 1900s, a natural amphitheatre about 4 kilometres from the sea at 250 to 300 metres, on limestone, sandstone and calcarenite. Paolo Dettori began bottling in 1981 and his son Alessandro set up the modern estate in 1996. All vines are bush-trained and never irrigated, and the oldest Cannonau, planted in 1883, still grows on its own roots.
Alessandro farms holistically and was among the growers present when Italy's natural wine movement took shape in 2003. Everything ferments with wild yeasts and ages in concrete only, with a small dose of sulphur at bottling. Renosu, meaning sandy in the local language, is the everyday line: Renosu Bianco, aromatic with Vermentino and Moscato, and Renosu Rosso, a juicy blend of local reds.
