An iconic expression of Sardinia's Vermentino.
The wine that started it all. Capichera Vermentino is the historic label that introduced the world to the extraordinary potential of Sardinia’s native white grape. Born from the granite soils of Gallura and caressed by the island’s coastal winds, it embodies the philosophy that has defined Capichera for decades — the pursuit of purity, elegance, and authenticity.
Aged partly in stainless steel and partly in oak, Capichera reveals a symphony of aromas: wildflowers, citrus peel, peach, and Mediterranean herbs, woven together with mineral tension and a hint of honeyed depth. On the palate, it is full yet precise, with a smooth texture lifted by vibrant acidity and a long, savoury finish. This is Vermentino elevated to artistry — expressive, complex, and profoundly Sardinian.
For Irish wine lovers, Capichera Vermentino is an invitation to discover one of Italy’s most distinctive terroirs. It brings a whisper of the Mediterranean breeze to northern shores, perfect for those who value wines that combine sophistication with a sense of place.
