History of a family, history of a 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
what is now the municipality of Arzachena, 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, who lived in the town of Arzachena
but liked to spend spring at the farm at Capichera. |
In the Seventies, the father of today's owners 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 1980s 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. |
