Tuderi is one of three single-vineyard Cannonau crus produced by Tenute Dettori at the Badde Nigolosu estate in Sennori, in the Romangia zone of northwest Sardinia. The vines are 40 to 60 years old, trained in the traditional low-bush alberello style, and grown at 250 to 300 metres elevation on soils of marl, organogenic limestone, and loam-clay calcarenite. The name Tuderi refers to the rock formation that towers above this specific plot.
The grape is 100% Retagliadu Nieddu, the ancient Cannonau biotype native to the Romangia and found almost nowhere else. Grapes are hand-harvested and sorted on a table, then de-stemmed but not pressed. Maceration runs in open concrete vats using only indigenous yeasts, with no starters or sulfites added during vinification. The wine ages in concrete tanks for approximately two years before release. It is unfined and unfiltered.
Alcohol climbs high in this appellation — Dettori does not monitor ABV during the growing season, allowing ripeness to express itself fully each vintage. The 2015 Tuderi contains 11 mg/L of naturally occurring sulfites with none added, as documented at RAW WINE. The result is a wine with considerable density and concentration alongside an unexpectedly airy, saline quality that keeps it from feeling heavy.
Dettori deliberately uses the Romangia IGT designation rather than Cannonau DOC, a deliberate choice to centre the specific cru over the variety. This is a wine that rewards patience: open it well in advance or expect it to evolve significantly over several hours in the glass.
