Here is a high-end expression of Vermentino that conjures up visions of the jagged coastline and granite-strewn landscape of northern Sardinia. Still, the price indicated for the 2016 Capichera is very high for this type of wine, and honestly, I'm not sure why the folks at the estate thought this was a good marketing strategy. Some 80,000 bottles were made, so it's not like this is a limited release to begin with. The wine sees a brief four to six months in oak, depending on the vintage, and what you get in the 2016 is a very correct and pleasant rendition with varietal purity and sharp citrus aromas. These are followed by yellow rose and toasted almond. It would be a lovely accompaniment to a Catalan-style lobster. Fruit comes from the estate's historic vineyards in Arzachena, Gallura.
