Renosu Vermentino is a 100% Vermentino from Tenute Dettori's estate in Badde Nigolosu, a natural amphitheater in the Romangia del Logudoro zone of northwest Sardinia, situated roughly 4 kilometers from the Gulf of Asinara at 250 to 300 meters elevation. The name Renosu is Sardinian for sand, a nod to the coastal limestone, sandstone, and calcarenite soils of Miocene origin that define the vineyard's character. Vines are trained to the traditional low-bush alberello style with no irrigation, at a density of 5,000 to 7,000 plants per hectare.
Tenute Dettori farms biodynamically and holds Demeter certification, working exclusively with ancient indigenous clones native to Sardinia. No synthetic chemicals are used in the vineyard or cellar. Grapes are hand-harvested and sorted on a steel selection table, then de-stemmed and fermented with native yeasts in open concrete vats. The wine is never fined or filtered, clarifying only through natural gravity settling aided by cold cellar temperatures. Sulfite levels are extremely low, at around 11 mg/L with no addition at fermentation.
Dettori deliberately classifies this wine under IGT rather than the Vermentino di Sardegna DOC, a deliberate choice to emphasize the Badde Nigolosu terroir over varietal designation. The Renosu line is drawn from grapes not selected for the single-cru estate wines, making it Dettori's everyday expression. In the glass it shows an intense straw yellow color, aromas of ripe pear, white peach, and tropical fruit, with a savory, mineral, and distinctly saline finish characteristic of the coastal limestone site.
This is a non-vintage wine, meaning Dettori blends across multiple harvests to maintain consistency of character rather than committing to any single year. It is unoaked, with all aging and maturation done in small concrete tanks.
