The crown jewel of Capichera — a Vermentino of rare depth and nobility.
Santigaini represents the pinnacle of Capichera’s artistry — a monumental Vermentino born from eight single vineyards in Gallura, the sun-kissed granite heart of northern Sardinia. Here, the vines root deep into mineral-rich soils, nourished by sea breezes and Mediterranean light, yielding grapes of extraordinary aromatic intensity and depth.
Fermented and aged in oak, Santigaini reveals a complexity that few white wines can match. The bouquet opens with acacia, wild herbs, and honeyed citrus, followed by hints of tropical fruit and warm vanilla spice. On the palate, it’s full-bodied yet refined, with a creamy texture balanced by vibrant acidity and a long, saline finish that whispers of the sea.
For Irish wine lovers seeking something truly distinctive, Santigaini offers a taste of Mediterranean grandeur — a wine that stands shoulder to shoulder with the world’s most acclaimed whites. Elegant, powerful, and deeply expressive, it’s an unforgettable experience in every glass.
Why we love it:
Capichera Santigaini is an icon. Rich yet precise, expressive yet graceful — it’s a Vermentino that pushes boundaries and rewards contemplation. A wine for those who appreciate depth, terroir, and Sardinian soul in pure form. Pour it, savour it, remember it.
