Tenute Dettori Vino Renosu Rosso NV, Sardinia

€17.50

Available from 64wine, Glasthule.

A fascinating and intriguing wine – warm, earthy and herby, with soft ripe red fruits – plush and rounded yet light and elegant at the same time. It tasted even better the next day.

I imagine something Italian and homely – sausages with lentils or beans

Allessandro Dettori, based on the island of Sardinia, is committed to non-interventionist natural wine making, using organic grapes, wild yeasts, ageing in cement tanks and using as little sulphur dioxide as possible. This is made from Cannonau, aka Grenache, something of a speciality in Sardinia. I am not a fan of all natural wines but I really enjoyed this a lot.
