Santigaìni 2021

Santigaìni wine is the quintessence of Vermentino from many points of view. After years of experience and separate vinifications, parcel by parcel, Capichera has come to an in-depth knowledge of the characteristics of each vineyard cultivated with Vermentino. The Santigaìni white wine is a 100% Vermentino produced from the “Coddhu ecchju” vineyard, the best of the whole estate for this vine variety, a historic vineyard, which has shown year after year a greater potential compared to the others. For this reason, since 2003, the Vermentino grapes of this vineyard are vinified separately to give life to a limited number of bottles, which are only put on the market in the fourth year after the harvest, just like a great red wine. Santigaìni is therefore an exclusive wine, demonstrating the longevity potential of Vermentino from Gallura.

The grapes are harvested in September with very low yields (less than 50 quintals per hectare). They are pressed and the free-run must ferments in stainless steel vats at a controlled temperature. No aging in wood is carried out, the wine ages for almost 4 years in the bottle.
