Capichera
In the enchanting setting of Sardinia, a land of ancient traditions and breathtaking landscapes, stands the renowned winery Capichera. Located in a region that is a true treasure trove of biodiversity, Capichera has managed to transform its passion for wine into a mission: to enhance the potential of Vermentino, the emblematic grape of the island. Founded with the intent to explore and rediscover the oenological riches of Sardinia, the winery has gained a prominent position in the Italian wine scene.
The territory in which Capichera is rooted is that of the IGT Isola dei Nuraghi designation, an area that evokes ancient civilizations and natural wonders. Here, under a clear sky and a generous sun, the Vermentino and Carignano vineyards absorb the sea breeze and the scents of the Mediterranean, giving the wines a unique complexity and depth. Capichera adopts a production approach that combines tradition and innovation, with strict respect for the environment and meticulous care for every phase of winemaking.
Vermentino, the true protagonist of the lands of Capichera, finds its maximum expression in labels like VT and Santigaini. The VT enchants with its aromatic richness and ability to evolve over time, while the Santigaini, with its strong and enveloping character, tells of intense and refined flavors. Both wines evoke the colors and aromas of Sardinia, transporting those who taste them on a sensory journey through this fascinating island.

THE COMPANY
The extreme north of Sardinia sees Gallura as an area particularly suited for viticulture. Here, in the 1970s, the story of the winery Capichera began, thanks to the Ragnedda family who planted new Vermentino vineyards and built a winery for the production of high-quality wines. With great enthusiasm but also with significant investments and a lot of energy, the young brothers Fabrizio and Mario Ragnedda began working in the winery in the early 1980s, just when the first bottles of Vermentino with the Capichera label were marketed for the first time. Currently, Capichera distributes its wines internationally, and the original ten hectares of vineyard have become sixty. The quality level has seen a constant and continuous increase, and at the same time, while following the path of innovation and experimentation, the typicity of each label is maximally protected without compromise. Among the rows, the training system is partly Guyot and partly spurred cordon, with some plants also trained as bush vines, but above all, every agronomic practice is adopted wisely and carefully, ensuring that from harvest to harvest, the grapes meet the highest quality standards. In the winery, the most ancient local traditions are wonderfully combined with the most modern enological technologies, so that with the utmost respect for the intrinsic characteristics of the raw material, research and experimentation are continuous and constant. Each wine labeled Capichera is characterized by great extractive concentration, high alcoholic power, and a strong maturity of the fruit. The result is that, to date, all lovers of Italian wine products know the legendary brothers Mario and Fabrizio, who have fundamentally contributed to positively changing the face of Sardinian viticulture.
