Capichera: the excellence of Sardinia in a bottle
The Capichera collection gathers some of the most representative labels of one of the symbols of Sardinian wine. Born in Gallura, in the north of Sardinia, the Capichera project rigorously and authentically interprets a territory suited for winemaking, where Vermentino and the great island reds find expressions of strong personality, finesse, and longevity.
This selection is designed for those seeking Italian wines with character, capable of uniting aromatic depth, structure, and stylistic precision. From the most iconic white versions to the reds made from Carignano and Syrah, Capichera offers bottles that speak of territory, research, and evolved tradition, with limited productions and a consistently recognizable profile.
The territory of Gallura and the identity of Capichera
The Capichera vineyards are located around Arzachena, in an area historically linked to the Ragnedda family and particularly suitable for viticulture. Here, the work in the vineyard and winery has given rise to wines that maximize the Sardinian origin, with an elegant and contemporary imprint. The winery is now known for its ability to bring Sardinian wine to a level of national and international prestige, without losing its connection to the territory.
At the heart of the collection emerges Vermentino, the emblematic grape of the island, offered in different interpretations such as Vermentino Santigaini and Vermentino Vendemmia Tardiva. Alongside these labels, red wines like Assaje, from Carignano IGT Isola dei Nuraghi, and Mantènghja, along with other highly appealing references like Albori di Lampata in magnum format, find their place.
Style of Capichera wines
Capichera wines are appreciated for their expressive precision, the balance between intensity and finesse, and a marked evolutionary capacity. The white labels often appear taut, mineral, and rich in Mediterranean nuances, while the reds offer greater depth, substance, and complexity. The magnum formats available in the collection make it interesting for those who desire significant bottles, suitable for special occasions or a collection cellar.

Pairings and occasions for consumption
The Capichera whites lend themselves well to seafood dishes, shellfish, baked fish, and Mediterranean cuisine, but they also pair nicely with more structured preparations thanks to their tension and complexity. The reds, such as Assaje and Mantènghja, find an excellent balance with flavorful meats, roasts, light game, and traditional Sardinian dishes. The Vendemmia Tardiva versions and the more mature vintages are ideal for those seeking meditation wines or to serve during more refined tasting moments.
If you wish to discover a selection of high-profile Sardinian wines, the Capichera collection is the ideal starting point: iconic labels, territorial character, and an oenological identity that makes each bottle a valuable choice.
