The Vermentino Capichera is one of the symbolic wines of this famous Sardinian winery, which has been committed for many years to enhancing the typical grape varieties of the area. The Vermentino vineyards are 10-25 years old and are located in the heart of the Gallura region, at an altitude of 120 meters above sea level, with exposure ranging from east to west, in a wild and unspoiled environmental context, dominated by lush Mediterranean scrub. The soils are the result of the slow and progressive disintegration of granitic rocks and silica sands, very draining and rich in minerals. The harvest takes place in September, and the best bunches, selected in the vineyard, are softly pressed. Fermentation occurs in stainless steel tanks, at a controlled temperature of 16/18 °C, lasting about 4 weeks. The wine matures for about six months, mainly in steel and in small part in wood.

At the palate is rich, with a harmonious sip, characterized by pleasant fruity notes of remarkable taste persistence. The finish is long, fresh, and savory. The Vermentino at its highest expression.
