The truest essence of the Sardinian lands

"I feel like an equal animal. Part of planet Earth and the universe. That is why I make wine: it is the way I know how to make myself feel what I am: instinctively animal".

It is a quotation from Alessandro Dettori, who has brought the philosophy of organic wine to marry with the wind and sun of Sardinia. By Alessandro we propose his Romangiaa Vermentino like him, of incomparable sincerity.

That of the young Alessandro Dettori, is a reality that over the years has contributed to the rebirth of Sardinia and more specifically the Romangia area. In the countryside, the work is carried out with the utmost respect for the environment and, in the cellar, the production steps are rigorous: no yeasts or enzymes are added and the wine is not filtered, is not clarified and is not barriqued. The wines of Tenute Dettori are magnetic and profound and convey the truest essence of the Sardinian lands.

Wine has been made in Romangia for over 3000 years. Confirmation comes from the many archaeological finds discovered in the area and in particular at the Domus de Janas of Abelazu. Here, a terracotta Wine Vase was found (dating back to the Eneolithic period, 2,500 B.C.). 2000 years before the Roman, Etruscan, Phoenician and Greek civilisations, it was already customary to produce the 'nectar of the gods' there.
Romangia is that part of north-western Sardinia that includes the municipalities of Sorso and Sennori, bordering on the territory of the capital Sassari. In the area of Mount Cao, between the two aforementioned towns, decanters dating back to around 900 B.C. have been found, which are now preserved in the A. Sanna Museum in Sassari. Some scholars in the area claim that in Roman times, the most prestigious wine-growing area in Sardinia was, apart from Cagliari, precisely Romangia.
