The crown jewel of Capichera — a Vermentino of rare depth and nobility.
Capichera Santigaini is not just a white wine — it’s a declaration of Sardinia’s potential to produce world-class, age-worthy Vermentino. Crafted from a single vineyard in the heart of Gallura, this is the estate’s most refined expression: bold yet elegant, complex yet precise, radiant with Mediterranean character.
Named after the vineyard of origin, Santigaini thrives on sun-drenched granitic soils, kissed by sea breezes that keep the grapes vibrant and aromatic. This is Vermentino at its most confident — floral, structured, and resonant with the island’s wild beauty.
The nose opens with delicate acacia and hawthorn, followed by notes of citrus peel, tropical fruit, and fresh herbs. On the palate, it’s full-bodied, silky, and deeply layered, offering a rich texture balanced by mineral tension and an extraordinarily long finish. No oak is used, letting the fruit and terroir shine in pure, unfiltered form.
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.
