Dettori
Tenute Dettori is an artisan wine cellar inextricably linked to the land on which it is located - Badde Nigosolu is an amphitheater of 33 hectares at a height of 250 meters to the northwest to Golfo dell'Asinara in Sardinia. Wine has been made here for centuries, and many of Dettori's vines are more than a century old. In Dettori, technology and fashion are banned. Harvests are harvested by hand, no chemicals are used, but ancient agricultural techniques (they are completely organically and biodynamically certified). The cellar, built underground, follows the same principles. Only stainless steel and concrete tanks are used, where spontaneous fermentation takes place without temperature control and without the use of sulphites, except for bottling if necessary. Only local varieties are grown: Vermentino, Pascale, Moscato di Sennori, Monica and, of course, Cannonau. Alessandro Dettori says, "I make Sennori wines the way they should be, not the way you want them to be."

Sardegna
The wine region of Sardinia actually includes the vineyards of the entire island; Sardinia is located off the western coast of Italy and is the second largest island in the Mediterranean after Sicily; there you will find dream beaches, picturesque bays and mountains, dramatic sea caves, island vineyards, and former bandit villages - all of which you can explore in a day; Sardinia has over 7000 nuraghes, or impressive artifacts resembling towers, from the ancient Nuragic civilization; the nuraghes lived during the Bronze Age and give the island an incredible historical presence; the local wines and cuisine are unique in their own right and should not be underestimated for the taste, aroma, and charm they create; it is said that the Phoenicians were the first to bring wine to the island long before the birth of Christ; over the years, the winemakers of Sardinia have planted many grape varieties and created many different styles of wine; Vermentino is mainly produced in the northern part of the island, while the strong Cannonau usually comes from the southern part; the terrain, climate, and soils of Sardinia; about 40,000 hectares are cultivated in the wine-growing region of Sardinia; the vineyards are mainly grown on the hills of Campidano between the capital Cagliari and the city of Oristano, in the southwestern part of the island, and on the plateaus north of Olbia, around Sassari and Alghero; the Mediterranean climate is characterized by hot and dry summers, as well as rainy and humid winters; drought is common on the island, especially along the southern coast, so irrigation is often necessary; temperatures vary significantly in different wine regions of Sardinia; in the cooler northern areas, such as Gallura, Anglona, and Alghero, production is focused on fresh, fruity white wines with elegant aromas, good structure, and acidity; the only DOCG designation in Sardinia refers to Vermentino di Gallura, which has more strength and aroma than the typical wines that are only Vermentino di Sardegna; in the southern and western parts of the island, red, white, and dessert wines are offered, which are distributed among 17 DOC; however, two-thirds of the production consists of red wines; the main grape variety is Cannonau and produces full-bodied red wines; the Canaiolo variety in the northwest of the country and Carignano in the south also have great potential for winemaking; Sardinian trio - Cannonau, Vermentino, and Carignano; Cannonau, Vermentino, and Carignano are the most famous varieties that best represent the region's winemaking potential; several other local grape varieties are also found on the island: Bovale, Torbato, Semidano, Monica, Malvasia bianca, Nasco, and Nuragus; on a smaller scale, the international red variety Cabernet Sauvignon is also grown.
