CHIMBANTA

As generations-long custodians of the identity of Romangia, the Dettori family has produced wine since the 19th century. Alessandro Dettori became the first winemaker in Sardinia to re-focus attention on the winegrowing district of Romangia and the clones/biotypes of ancient vines, such as Retagliadu Nieddu (the historic Cannonau of Sorso-Sennori). Since 2003, respect for the land and tradition has led the family to adopt biodynamic agriculture in all its vineyards and a production philosophy based on observing the vineyards and the wines. Each Dettori wine hails from a single vineyard and is enhanced through vinification conducted exclusively in concrete tanks in a totally natural way, without the addition of sulfites, yeasts, oak, animal products, or any other additives and adjuvants permitted in winemaking.

The depth of Chimbanta is unfathomable: dark in color, it invites exploration. It is linear yet broad, with a dense tapestry of fruity aromas of plum and myrtle interwoven on the nose. The palate is like shot silk: thrilling, powerful, caressed by gentle yet mighty tannins. A very long finish, fragrance filling the empty glass for hours. 100% Monica di Sorso grapes yield the powerful flavor of the Mediterranean.

This is the Chimbanta: a powerful taste of the Mediterranean.

Name: in the Sardinian language Chimbanta means fifty, born to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of Paul. A Kent’Annos.
