Capichera
The Capichera estate was born in the
1920s as a country home where the Ragnedda family made just
enough wine to satisfy their own needs. The area, near Arzachena
on the northern tip of Sardegna, was already known for its
ideal grape-growing terroir, but not until the 70’s
did the family plant more extensive vineyards throughout
their 60 hectares and build a modern cellar. This preparation
paid off in the following decade, when the first Capichera
Vermentino was released and immediately raised a jealous
fervor in its most famous competitors. Brothers Fabrizio
and Mario Ragnedda now run the estate together, striving
to optimize quality and thus earn Capichera a place among
Italy’s most elite producers.
