Isola dei Nuraghi Vermentino IGT 2022 (750 ml.) Capichera
The 'Capichera' from Capichera is the iconic wine of the estate, produced for the first time in 1980. It was born from the idea of being able to obtain, from the Vermentino grapes, the most loved by Capichera, a wine capable of competing with great international whites. The best bunches of these grapes, cultivated in its land of choice, are transformed into a unique and identity-driven wine, elegant and with a strong personality. The name Capichera, from the Latin caput erat “it was the capital,” is the ancient name of the family estate. Rich and complex with wildflowers, hawthorn, wisteria, rosemary, thyme, lavender, pineapple, and flint. Dry, lively, full, and enveloping, the finish is long and persistent with rich mineral savoriness and elegant fullness.

THE WINE
The 'Capichera' by Capichera is the iconic wine of the company, produced for the first time in 1980. It stems from the intuition of being able to obtain, from the Vermentino grapes, the most beloved by Capichera, a wine capable of competing with the great international whites. The best bunches of these grapes, cultivated in its chosen land, are transformed into a unique and identity-defining wine, elegant and with a strong personality. The name Capichera, from the Latin caput erat “it was the capital”, is the ancient name of the family estate. Rich and complex with wildflowers, hawthorn, wisteria, rosemary, thyme, lavender, pineapple, and flint. Dry, lively, full, and enveloping, the finish is long and persistent with rich mineral savoriness and elegant fullness.
THE COMPANY
The extreme north of Sardinia sees in Gallura a particularly suited area for viticulture. Here, in the 1970s, the story of the Capichera winery began, thanks to the Ragnedda family who planted new Vermentino vineyards and built a winery for the production of high-quality wines. With much enthusiasm but also with many investments and a lot of energy expended, the young brothers Fabrizio and Mario Ragnedda began to work in the winery in the early 1980s, precisely when the first bottles of Vermentino with the Capichera label were being 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 spur cordon, with some plants also trained as bush vines, but above all, every agronomic practice is adopted thoughtfully and carefully, ensuring that from harvest to harvest the grapes meet the highest quality standards. In the winery, the oldest local traditions are wonderfully combined with the most modern enological technologies, so that, while fully respecting the intrinsic characteristics of the raw material, research and experimentation are ongoing and consistent. Each wine labeled Capichera is characterized by a great extractive concentration, high alcoholic strength, and a strong fruit maturity. 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.
