Vermentino and Carignano

The Capichera vineyards are in the northern region of Sardinia called Gallura.
It is an area whose characteristics and geological origins have determined the typical landscape, rich in granitic rocks, the disintegration of which produces sandy soils, dissolved from acids to sub-acids, rich in potassium but with little phosphorus and nitrogen.

Particularly favourable conditions for wine production which, combined with carefully selection of the land, caring for the vineyards, patient processing in the cellar and the experience we have gained over the years, enable us to enthusiastically continue a journey which began 30 years ago.

Vermentino

Vermentino is one of the most traditional white grapevines in Sardinia. It arrived from the Iberian peninsula, in the 18th century and reached Gallura through Corsica where it found its natural habitat.
Vermentino presents a medium to large, cylindrical-conical shaped bunch; its grapes are fairly large, closely packed, with yellow-amber and firm skin and transparent pulp with a delicate flavour.

The wine obtained from its grapes has the following organoleptic characteristics:
colour: intense straw-yellow with light greenish flecks
bouquet: intense, lingering, with real plant scents from the Sardinian Mediterranean maquis
flavour: soft and quite flavoursome, complex on the palate with a retro-nasal aroma of fresh flowers
