Where the first rays of sunlight wander over Gallura's granite hills and the ancient tomb of Coddu 'Ecchju has looked eastwards for thousands of years, the young vines for Capicheras Lianti grow. The name itself tells of this mystical connection – liànti means "Levant", the East, where light is born every day. Just as the Nuragic builders once orientated their sacred sites towards this heavenly gate, this wine also turns its face towards the rising sun. From the youngest vineyards of the estate, where five to ten-year-old Carignano and Syrah vines thrive on weathered granite soils, an authentic Sardinian red wine is produced in its most original form. The hand-picked grapes macerate for three weeks in stainless steel tanks before the wine then matures for around six months in steel and cement.

Ruby red with garnet-red reflections. Develops an intense bouquet of dark fruits and spicy accents: Blackcurrant jelly and black fruits blend with notes of cinnamon, rhubarb and a hint of mocha. On the palate, the youthfulness of this cuvée is revealed in all its freshness – enveloping and juicy, with velvety tannins and an elegant spiciness that ends in a medium-long, harmonious final. A red wine that bears Capichera's signature, but consciously celebrates the sparse beauty of Sardinian red wine authenticity. SUPERIORE.DE

"A bright wine with aromas of raspberries, white pepper, stone fruit, sweet spices and blood oranges. Medium-bodied with moderate acidity, it shows velvety tannins and a chalky finish." James Suckling
