Tenute Dettori Dettori 2015

Cellar for up to 11 years. Decant 1 hour before serving.

Alessandro Dettori and his father are artisanal winemakers producing just 55,000 bottles per year from their 29 hectare estate in northwestern Sardinia. Their property is one of the most beautiful in Europe, with stunning views from the vineyards looking out over the Mediterranean Sea across to the island of Corsica.

Alessandro is passionate about working in harmony with nature, and seeks to always produce wines that “are what they are and not what you want them to be”. In practical terms this translates into complete avoidance of chemicals in the growing and winemaking process, fermentation using wild yeasts, and use of recycled and lightweight materials in all their packaging.

Produced in tiny quantities each year, Dettori is their flagship red wine crafted from the classic local Cannonau grape. The fruit is harvested by hand at optimum ripeness and then vinified in concrete tanks for 24 months before bottling. The result is a very pure expression of the Cannonau variety with a perfect balance between power and elegance. Intense notes of wild berries, herbs and forest undergrowth mingle with richer notes of plums and ripe cherries on the palate, ending in a long, graceful finish. Keep in the cellar for another decade or so, or enjoy now with hearty red meat dishes.
