Renosu is Tenute Dettori's entry-level red, sourced from the estate's Cannonau vines in the Romangia del Logudoro zone of northwestern Sardinia, near the town of Sennori. The name Renosu means "sandy" in Sardinian, referring to the sandy, limestone-rich soils of the Romangia valley floor where these vines grow at around 250-300 meters elevation, overlooking the Gulf of Asinara. The grape is the Retagliadu Nieddu, the ancient local clone of Cannonau specific to Romangia, grown in bush-trained (alberello) vines.
All vineyard work is done by hand without synthetic chemicals, following biodynamic practices the estate has used since at least 2003. Grapes are hand-harvested, sorted on a table, de-stemmed, and fermented spontaneously with indigenous yeasts in open concrete vats. Maceration lasts between 2 and 10 days depending on the vintage. The wine then ages in small concrete tanks until bottling, with no oak contact, no fining, and no filtration. The Renosu label receives wine that Alessandro Dettori judges not quite at the level of the estate's single-cru Badde Nigolosu bottlings.
Low sulfites (around 42 mg/L total) are used in the Renosu line, making it one of the more approachable natural reds from the estate. The result is a juicy, medium-bodied red with mild tannins, low acidity, and an expressive nose of ripe red fruit, garrigue herbs, and a mineral undercurrent drawn from the calcareous soils. It is released without a vintage year, as the blend may draw from multiple harvests to maintain consistency of style.
