Capichera

Established in the 19^th century in Arzachena, near Olbia, this is now Gallura’s most highly regarded estate. In the 1970s they undertook new plantings and built new facilities, so they could begin bottling their own wines with an emphasis on low yields and best practice at every stage of the process, including organic farming. They’ve produced wine under the Capichera label since 1980, and in 1990 produced the late-harvest Vendemmia Tardiva (VT), the first Vermentino fermented and entirely aged in barriques. Their second label, Kharisma, is also worth looking out for.
