First things first, this is a non-vintage blend of Vermentino from the team at Dettori and the approach is to produce something as uncomplicated as possible. The style is uncomplicated however the wine has plenty of complexity to it with a nutty and creamy texture that comes across in waves and a citrus seam through the wine that keeps you interested.

Tenute Dettori, located in the Romangia del Logudoro area in the extreme northwest corner of Sardinia, it’s family-owned, with a rich history dating back to the early 1900s. The estate is in the captivating region between Sassari and Castelsardo, known as the "golden place." The vineyards of Tenute Dettori are meticulously managed in the renowned "Badde Nigolosu" cru, a historic hinterland revered for the Cannonau grape. Rather than seeking DOC status, some of their wines opt for IGT status to allow them the flexibility to produce terroir-driven wines. That’s a win-win for consumers. On top of that, Dettori commits to minimal intervention, natural fermentations take place in concrete vats, and oak barrels are eschewed in favour of showcasing pure varietal character. The vineyards are biodynamic; also, vines are trained in the low-bush albarello (goblet) style to enhance ripening and retain moisture in this cool, dry climate. Vermentino, Moscato di Sorso-Sennori, and Cannonau, particularly the Retagliadu Nieddu ancient clone, are emblematic grape varieties of Romangia and form the foundation of Tenute Dettori's expressive wines. So if you’re after benchmarks of some of Italy’s lesser-known and most enchanting varieties, you’ve arrived.
