Fermented with native yeasts in cement vats, without temperature control. Bottled straight from the vats without any fining or filtering and no sulfites added. A classic everyday Mediterranean, juicy and versatile, but not without Alessandro's signature fruit concentration, intense salinity, and rugged minerality – ripe red berries, sun-kissed herbs, and rich, freshly-tilled soil unfold in layers. Excellent with cheeses, cured meats, lamb; amazing with fish soups and grilled swordfish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"Equilibrium","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":19178055557,"sku":"210000001534","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1016\/7695\/files\/DettoriRenosuRosso.jpg?v=1716581121"},{"product_id":"dettori-renosu-bianco-nv","title":"Dettori Renosu Bianco NV","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e‘Renosu' is Sardinian for sand, and the vineyards that this Vermentino are grown in are indeed right next to the coast.

The quality of site and fruit (and Luca’s deft decision-making that allows him to remain hands off) all come through here. 600 meters above sea level, an altitude unusual for reds, gives the wine uncommon freshness, as cooler night-time temperatures mean higher acidity in the grapes. Fermentation begins using indigenous yeasts only, encouraged by a ‘pied de cuve’, as Luca believes (so do we) that cultured yeasts don’t give a wine that truly is representative of place. Vinified entirely in steel, it shows surprisingly depth, indicative of the pristine base material used. A cascade of wild strawberry, blackberry, dried mint and smokey sage reel off the rose, followed by fresh fruit notes on the palate, met by soft, fine tannins, and a broad, velvety, generous structure, befitting the ‘Berteru’ (‘sincere’) name.

From sandy soils just 600 meters from the sea, fruit sees an 18-hour maceration, spontaneous fermentation, and 12 months in used barriques on lees. Bottled unfined and unfiltered and with zero SO2. Fun, just a little funky (think tart and wet stones, not barnyard-y), and more than anything super fresh – like a splash of sea-spray for the senses – with underripe peach and nectarine, guava, salted blood plum, and juicy watermelon vibes that lead to a mouth-watering finish. There’s more than a touch of wild myrtle and bright salinity for balance and a ripe and fleshy mouthfeel that is both savory and exotic. It’s a real trip to the island with this one, and sure to put a spring in your step as things warm up this season.
