Description
History
Capichera is a Sardinian winery among the most important and renowned in Gallura, located in Arzachena, “set” among the granite rocks of the area. Despite having achieved strong commercial success, the company has remained family-run since the 1970s; its peculiarity was the intuition to enhance the value of pure Vermentino, sometimes vinifying in barrique and giving life to very long-lived wines that improve over time. Over the years, the company has been able to produce interesting wines also based on red grapes, such as Carignano and Syrah, capable of perfectly representing the territory.
