Capichera estate panorama

Quality - You see it, You taste it, and You know when somebody has put his heart and utmost dedication into his craftsmanship. And if you could put it into a bottle, it would be bottle of Capichera wine.

Capichera's story began in the early 20th century, when the grandfather of today's owners inherited a farm of over 50 hectares in the extreme north of Sardinia: an area already famed for its suitability for winegrowing. In those days the vineyards produced just enough wine for the family. In the 1970's, the family planted new vineyards of Vermentino, the typical local grape variety, and built a modern winery for the production of high quality wines. In 1980 the first wine was sold under the Capichera label, a Vermentino radically different from those already on the market: it was richer, more fragrant, smoother, and longer-lived than other, more important wines. In the 1980's, brothers Fabrizio and Mario began to work in the winery, and although very young, invested their energy in a difficult challenge: making Capichera a leader in top quality wine production.

Today Capichera is a young winery, with its own rich history of development in quantity, and above all quality, of experimentation, innovation and progressive improvement of the products and the production and management processes.

The original 10 hectares of vineyards have become 60 today and others are being planted. The vines are the result of scrupulous selection in Capichera and in France. Capichera's Vermentino and Carignano vineyards are - and will remain - unparalleled in quality.
