Description
What kind of wine it is
Ottomarzo by Dettori is a still red wine that expresses the essence of the Pascale di Cagliari variety. Produced in the Romangia area, it stands out for its intense ruby red colour. On the nose, it releases aromas of red fruits and delicate spicy notes. The palate, with excellent structure, offers a refined and long-lived sip, ideal for accompanying meat-based dishes.
Where it comes from
The grapes are grown in the Badde Nigolosu cru, in the heart of Romangia del Logudoro, in Sardinia. This coastal setting, located just four kilometres from the sea, profoundly shapes the identity of the harvest. Dettori manages the vineyards according to the principles of biodynamic agriculture, carefully overseeing every stage. This approach enhances the ancient Sardinian clones, offering an authentic and faithful expression of the territory of origin.
How it is produced
The vines are cultivated using the bush-trained system. After destemming and crushing, the must undergoes a natural fermentation with indigenous yeasts in cement vats, accompanied by a long maceration on the skins. To preserve the varietal characteristics of the Pascale di Cagliari grape without interference, maturation in cement lasts about a year, with no use of wood. The final harmony is completed with a subsequent rest in the bottle.
History and Curiosities
Dettori Ottomarzo 2020 encapsulates the essence of Sardinia, originating from the prestigious cru Badde Nigolosu just a few kilometres from the sea. For over a century, the Dettori family has cultivated bush-trained vines following the principles of biodynamic agriculture to enhance the ancient clones of Pascale di Cagliari. The winemaking process is uncompromising: natural fermentation with indigenous yeasts, skin maceration in cement, and a strict exclusion of wood. A year of ageing between tank and bottle delivers a refined sip, enriched by captivating spicy notes.

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, where the company looks after the "Badde Nigolosu" cru.
This historic hinterland is the classic home of the Cannonau grape, which 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. We utilise only concrete vats for natural fermentations and maturation since the company does not need oak barrels for softening tannins. Meticulous work in the vineyards means that the grapes arrive in the cellar already exhibiting all the qualities required for making a great wine.
We have always worked in the service of our terroir, without compromise. But we have never been alone. Many wine lovers and professionals have trusted us. They tasted, selected, told and sold our wines. Over the years, Badde Nigolosu’s wines have met the most authoritative professionals in the world of wine. Without them today we would not be here yet.
