Tasting notes

Tuderi reaches high alcohol naturally yet carries itself with an ethereal, saline lightness that defies expectation — garnet fading to brick, with dried raspberry, wild herbs, plum, and a long, mineral finish. It is one of the most singular expressions of Cannonau anywhere, coming from a single named plot of 40-to-60-year-old alberello vines on marl and limestone above the Gulf of Asinara.

Important Compliance Requirements

FedEx and other carriers we might occasionally use can only deliver wine to customers who are 21 years or older. Someone must be at the address to receive the package; carriers don't just drop a package and leave. They must ensure the person receiving the wine is 21 or older. Shipping to PO Boxes is not allowed.

Ship to a FedEx Store

If nobody can be at your address to sign for the package, you can have your order sent to a FedEx store instead. Enter your preferred FedEx store as the shipping address at checkout and we'll ship your order there. Once it arrives, you have 5 business days to pick it up, and you'll need to show your ID.

Re-shipping a Package

If a package is returned to us after three failed delivery attempts, we can only re-ship the wine upon payment of a re-shipping fee, to be determined based on the shipping address and number of bottles. Shipping wine is extremely expensive. We are sorry about this, but we have no other choice. Please make sure there's always someone at the address you enter as your shipping address.

If you'd like to receive a refund for a package that was returned to us after FedEx made three delivery attempts, we can do that but we must keep a $20 refund fee; FedEx charges us a lot of money for returns, unfortunately, I can't stress this enough.

Re-routing a Package

If you'd like to reroute a package after it's been shipped, we can do so for a $20 re-routing fee. We cannot re-route a package across state borders. For any change of address, please contact us as soon as possible, ideally within 1-2 days from placing the order or we cannot guarantee we'll be able to reroute or change your order's shipping address.

Canceling an Order

If you'd like to cancel an order after it's been shipped, we can do so upon payment of a small cancellation fee – the amount depends on the size of the order. Carriers charge us a lot of money to recall a package en-route.

Heat/Frost damage

We are not responsible for heat- or frost-related issues. We offer ice packs upon request, at a cost, but even so, we can't be held liable if it's 104 where you are and corks pop. Please let us know if you think that there could be heat-related issues. If we don't hear anything from you regarding weather issues before an order is shipped, or if you don't request a hold due to the weather, we are not responsible for heat/frost damage.

Placed an order. What next?

1. You will receive an order confirmation email with your order summary.*

2. As soon as your order ships from the warehouse, usually within 2-3 business days, this applies to all shipping rates, you will receive a shipping confirmation email with your tracking information. 2DAY shipping refers to shipping time; we still need 2-3 business days to prepare an order. We need to pick and pack, QA, add printed collateral, and palletize the orders.

3. Please track your package using the tracking service.

4. The carrier will attempt delivery a maximum of 3 times. After 3 delivery attempts, your package will be sent back to our warehouse.**

*Please ensure your email address is correct; otherwise, you will not receive the order and shipping confirmation emails.

**If delivery is attempted 3 times without success, or if you fail to retrieve your package from the carrier depot by the stated deadline, the shipping fee will not be refunded to the customer.

Returns Policy

If you are not satisfied with your purchase, please contact us at (424) 414-2040 or via e-mail at hello@primalwine.com between 9 am and 5 pm Pacific Standard Time, Monday through Sunday, we would like to understand and try to solve your concerns. We can offer refunds only as store credit.

Producer profile

Tenute Dettori

The Dettori family has farmed the Badde Nigolosu land in Sennori for generations, selling wine in demijohns until 1981, when Paolo Dettori began bottling a portion of production. The formal estate project under the name Tenute Dettori was established in 1996. Alessandro Dettori, who runs the estate today with his father Paolo, adopted biodynamic viticulture from 2003 and eliminated sulfur use during vinification the same year. The estate covers approximately 33 hectares in total, including 20 hectares of surrounding Mediterranean scrub woodland that forms a natural buffer around the vineyards.

Every plot at Badde Nigolosu is farmed exclusively with indigenous Sardinian varieties: Cannonau (Retagliadu Nieddu clone), Vermentino, Moscato di Sennori, Monica, and Pascale. Vines are trained to the low-bush alberello system and planted at around 5,000 vines per hectare. All work in the vineyard is done by hand, with no synthetic chemicals used. The estate produces approximately 45,000 to 55,000 bottles per year across all wines. Dettori does not display organic or biodynamic certification prominently on labels, preferring the wines to be understood as terroir-driven rather than certification-defined.

Winemaking at Tenute Dettori is radically non-interventionist. Grapes are hand-harvested, sorted on a table, de-stemmed but not pressed, and fermented in open concrete vats using only indigenous yeasts with no temperature control. Maceration lasts anywhere from two to ten days depending on the character of the vintage. All aging takes place in concrete tanks — some enameled, some not — for approximately two years before bottling. The wines are never fined, never filtered, and receive no added sulfites during vinification. The 2015 Tuderi contained 11 mg/L of naturally occurring sulfites at the time of listing at RAW WINE.

Wine region

Sardegna, Italy

Romangia is a small zone in the extreme northwest corner of Sardinia, positioned between the Gulf of Asinara and the rocky peaks of the Anglona and Osilo districts. The landscape descends from over 700 metres elevation to the coast across just 12 kilometres, with hills, valleys, and fertile plateaus shaped by Miocene-era volcanic and sedimentary activity. Soils in the Badde Nigolosu area are predominantly marl, organogenic limestone, and loam-clay calcarenite. The Mediterranean climate is hot and dry in summer, moderated by the Maestrale, a strong northwest wind that reduces disease pressure and moderates the intense heat.

Romangia IGT is the appellation used by Tenute Dettori in preference to the broader Cannonau di Sardegna DOC. Romangia is the historic home of the Retagliadu Nieddu, an ancient biotype of Cannonau with small, dispersed clusters that is found almost exclusively in the municipalities of Sorso and Sennori. Other varieties grown in the zone include Vermentino, Moscato di Sorso-Sennori, Pascale, Cagnulari, and Monica di Sorso. Despite its historic importance as a wine-producing area, Romangia remains relatively little-known outside of natural wine circles, largely due to the dominance of cooperative production through the mid-20th century and the decline of vineyard surface after EU subsidies ended in the 1980s.
