Dettori

The Dettori company is a family of sheepherders and farmers who has been making authentic, distinctive, terroir-expressive wine since the early 1900s. The wines were always sold in demijohns until 1981 when the company began bottling a portion of the production.

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.
