Tenute Dettori Winery: A Testament to Sardinian Terroir

Located in Sennori, near the natural amphitheater of Badde Nigolosu, Tenute Dettori Winery benefits from a rich winemaking history that spans over 3000 years. The elevated position of Sennori, approximately 250 meters above sea level, allows for strong northeast winds that contribute to the unique microclimate. Visitors can enjoy breathtaking views of the Gulf of Turritano and the Island of Corsica, surrounded by lush fruit orchards and olive groves.

Wines that Capture the Essence of the Land

The winery's vineyards thrive in calcareous, yellowish-white soil, home to diverse wildlife such as wild boars, hedgehogs, and hawks. Tenute Dettori cultivates around 5000 vines per hectare, focusing on local grape varieties like Cannonau, Pascale, Moscato, and Monica. In addition to grapes, the estate also grows vegetables and fruits, all while adhering to organic farming practices that respect the environment and maintain a strong connection to the local community.

The Art of Winemaking at Tenute Dettori

At Tenute Dettori, the winemaking process begins with handpicking the finest grapes, which are carefully transported in wooden boxes to the winery. The underground facility is designed to provide optimal conditions for vinification and maturation. Utilizing gravity flow, the grapes are processed in cement tanks, ensuring minimal intervention. To enhance sustainability, the winery has reduced the weight of its glass bottles and is actively working on incorporating recycled materials into its packaging.

A proper boutique winery with exceptional wines. We did the Professional tasting so we tasted 6 wines. All good and some outstanding wine. We paired this with cheeses and cured meats which were very good. Tour was enlightening and the staff speak excellent English. Excellent descriptions of the wines and the terrior they were grown in.And the view is to die for - see photo. Warwick

We enjoyed an interesting cellar tour with a tasting of two wines and excellent local specialties at the winery. Afterwards, there was the opportunity to buy the wines we tasted.

Outstanding winery, one of the best we've ever been to in the world. Atop a hill with stunning views of the sea, fantastic selection of red and white wines with good food to pair.

A very nice experience. The daughter of the winery owner is very friendly and speaks very good English! She gave us a little insight into the winery and explained everything in a way that was easy to understand. The winery is very romantic and invites you to take photos on the terrace. The eggplant casserole tasted great.

The wines are excellent and extensive. It's commonly misconceived that Sardinia hasn't got the soil or conditions and capacity for great reds but that's all squashed by the team and winemaker at Tenute Dettori who is the 6th generation winemaker. It's a wonder which must be explored and you will definitely appreciate their skill and history. What goes above and beyond is the genuine and heart felt cooking in the kitchen by Nonna who makes wonderfully balanced meatballs and eggplant parmigiana which plays with the softer tannins of the middle strength reds like a bullet through a balloon 🎈 and will blow you away equally with a bang. As much as you will enjoy the beach culture of Sardinia this genuine experience will evoke memories of favourite childhood dishes with sophisticated wine and killer sunset views.

We had a wonderful afternoon at the winery. We booked an appointment for a tasting online. Once we got there, we could choose what we wanted to do. We decided to choose a few glasses ourselves. We also had delicious polpette and local cheese and sausages, as well as bread and olives. A beautiful property and friendly hosts.
