Easily one of the most beautiful wineries in Europe, Tenute Dettori sits high above the glittering Mediterranean Sea with views from the vineyards looking out to the nearby island of Corsica and Gulf of Turritano. Alessandro Dettori and his father have 29 hectares of vineyards here which they work according to traditional biodynamic farming principles. This includes avoiding any chemical use in the vineyards, harvesting by hand, and using minimal sulphites in the winery.

Since everything is done using artisanal wine making methods, the family produces just 55,000 bottles per year from typical local grape varieties like Cannonau and Vermentino. This delightful red is crafted from 45 year old Cannonau vines which are planted on prime calcareous soils rich in minerals. Once in the winery the grapes are fermented using wild yeasts and then aged in small cement tanks for 24-30 months before bottling.

Crushed wild berries, plums, earthy herbs and hints of forest floor characterise the nose, while the first sip reveals a refreshing streak of acidity balanced by ripe red fruit flavours and smooth tannins. The long finish and medium body make this a great wine to pair with hearty tomato-based pasta dishes, charcuterie or mature cheeses.
