Capichera is a vinery located in the North-East part of Sardinia among the granite rocks of Gallura.
It has over 50 years history and the most important grape variety has been white the Vermentino DOCG. But this is not the only variety – Carignano, Syrah and others are part of the production as well.
The name is a typical expression of the Gallurese dialect which means "so it is". També is the white vinification of black Carignano grapes, and other indigenous grapes, from our vineyard in Palau. From these vines, which face the sea and overlook Corsica, we have obtained a fragrant and very pleasant wine, which expresses an original concept of rosé.

Morning dew is the translation of Lintóri. The name itself is meant to tell the story of this wine, obtained from the selection of grapes from the youngest vineyards.
It is deliberately the freshest, most immediate and mineral expression of pure Vermentino, without sacrificing its intense and distinctive character.
Produced since 2010, it is the youngest of Capichera's white wines.

Vign'angena in the Gallurese dialect means other people's vineyard. The name refers to the grapes from the estate vineyards, with which this wine was produced in the very first years until the new vineyards were at maturity. Vinified for the first time in 1994, Vign'angena is fragrant, mineral and intense, and is the expression of Vermentino di Gallura vinified exclusively in steel tanks.

This is the company's iconic wine, produced for the first time in 1980. It was born from the intuition of being able to obtain, from the Vermentino grapes, Capichera's most beloved, a wine that could compete with the great international whites. The best bunches of these grapes, cultivated in its land of choice, are transformed into a unique and identity wine, elegant and with a strong personality.
The name Capichera, from the Latin caput erat 'was the capital', is the ancient name of the family estate.

The aim of producing red wines to match its whites has led Capichera to select over the years the best-known indigenous black grape varieties of Sardinia. Thus, in 1997, Assajé was born: a blend of those indigenous grape varieties with a small percentage of Syrah. It is a desire fulfilled for an elegant and fragrant wine that nevertheless retains power, structure and identity.
Assajé means 'is something'.
