Capichera "Assajé" Rosso

Assajé — “there is already something.” Sardinia uncovered.
Born in 1997, Assajé represents Capichera’s boldest expression of Sardinia’s famed red grape, Carignano, with a touch of Syrah for structure and finesse. It was conceived to elevate red wine to the same status as their groundbreaking whites — and today stands as a powerful, fragrant, and proudly territorial wine.

Harvested from estate-owned vineyards across Gallura and Sulcis, Assajé is crafted to reflect place and tradition. The grapes are hand-picked between late September and early October and undergo around three weeks of spontaneous fermentation in stainless steel, followed by 12 months maturation in French oak barriques and cement, preserving tension while layering in complexity

Why we love it:
Assajé is a wine of presence and poise. It balances richness with elegance, maturity with freshness, and tradition with refinement. With every sip you taste Sardinia’s wild character, its granite soils, its sea breezes—and Capichera’s uncompromising commitment to expressing them fully. A bottle worth cellaring, sharing, and revisiting.
