Capichera
Vigna'ngena Vermentino Di Gallura
Gallura, Sassari - Nuoro, Sardinia, Italy
A superbly-crafted multi-layered Vermentino with great intensity and striking character. Slightly bracing stone fruit, balanced by a second layer of subtle tropical notes and followed by very herbaceous finish. Mint, ginger and white pepper linger very persistently. Great tension of firm minerality and rounded mid palate. This is just about the finest expression of Vermentino I’ve had. Not the greatest value at $40, so I reserve my recommendations for serious lovers of this variety and of more esoteric Mediterranean whites.

Quite unlike a Ligurian Vermentino, this Capichera Vign’Angena from Sardegna is rich with tropical fruits, peach and honey with a golden colour and long aftertaste!

While on the subject of "best" or benchmark wines, this Vermentino fits the bill. It is a point of reference in the wine scene of Sardinia. A single vineyard wine that has intense aromas of orange blossom, iris, yellow Apple, and hints of sublime minerality. It's a persistent and determined wine that will get under your skin. In stock today ($40) #renegadewines
