Set among the granite rocks of Gallura, in Arzachena, there is the Italian winery of Capichera, a family business which at the end of the 1970's, as a result of a great intuition, determined an important enological passage not only in Sardinia: it was the first winery to value with remarkable success the aging in barrique of pure Vermentino, proposing a model based on a production of very high quality and continuous research through a viticulture respectful and rigorous of the identity of the territory, allowing this grape to reveal its great peculiarities and characteristics.
Many authoritative critics of the sector still affirm that the history of Capichera is the history of quality Vermentino.
