"This is a textbook definition of varietal purity. I can't think of anyone doing Vermentino as well as Capichera." - Andrew Kitz, B-21 Wine Buyer
It seems Italy's white wine scene is getting better and better with each vintage, and you can now add the 93-point 2025 Capichera Vermentino Lintori to the list of the country's benchmark, native-grape expressions. Arguably the finest estate in Sardinia's Gallura DOCG.
The recent acquisition of the estate by Italian wine entrepreneur Carlo Campanini Bonomi has ensured that this iconic property not only remains a standard-bearer for the island, but that it takes its game to next level by staying true to its singular terroir. Bonomi considers the property to be one of great heritage, and it's his responsibility to carry that heritage forward. To that end, his extensive investments since his purchase are now paying off big time, as we clearly see in this riveting value performer. Harvested entirely from estate vineyards, the Lintori is quintessential Vermentino, with an intense mineral backbone balanced by full weight and texture. "I’m sold," declares Andrew, "one of Italy’s best values in white wine."
The original vision of Capichera's founder is on full display in this latest rendition under the estate's new ownership - to produce the finest expressions of an Italian winemaking tradition that dates back a thousand years, and to position the estate as its global ambassador. Based on the 2025 Lintori, we'd say they're succeeding with flying colors. |
