Morning dew in a glass. Bright. Mineral. Sardinian soul.
Lintòri — meaning “dewdrops” in the Sardinian dialect — is Capichera’s most delicate and refreshing interpretation of Vermentino. It embodies the purity of Gallura’s coastal vineyards, where the sea breeze and granite soils combine to create a white wine that’s luminous, aromatic, and effortlessly elegant.
Fermented entirely in stainless steel, Lintòri expresses Vermentino in its raw, unadulterated form. The bouquet reveals white flowers, citrus zest, and hints of pear and sage, while the palate is crisp and mineral, with a mouthwatering saline finish. Every glass captures the clarity and light of northern Sardinia, offering an authentic taste of the island’s sunlit terroir.
For Irish wine lovers, Lintòri brings a breath of Mediterranean freshness — the kind of wine that transforms simple moments into something memorable. Perfect for summer afternoons, seaside dinners, or any occasion that calls for grace and refinement.
Why we love it:
Bright, breezy, and full of Sardinian charm, Lintòri is everything we love about coastal Vermentino: precise, floral, and lightly saline. It brings sunshine to the table, whether you're sipping it in summer or dreaming of the Mediterranean in winter. A wine to open when freshness, elegance, and versatility are what you’re after.

Capichera is a family-run winery in Arzachena, Gallura — the first to bottle Vermentino in a dry, structured style that would come to define Sardinian white wine. Since the 1970s, the Ragnedda family has cultivated their granite-rich vineyards with a focus on purity and terroir. Today, Capichera is recognised across Italy and beyond for elevating the profile of Vermentino, and Lintòri remains their most drinkable, energetic expression — all freshness, all finesse.
