In the Gallurese dialect of northern Sardinia, "també" means something like "that's the way it is" – a straightforward statement, a kind of silent shrug of the shoulders of the island that says it all. The brothers Fabrizio and Mario Ragnedda have given this expression to a wine that is perfectly suited to it: natural, direct, without the need for explanation. Capichera, founded in the 1970s in Arzachena, in the heart of Gallura, has shaped the history of quality Vermentino in Sardinia like no other winery. On the granite soils of the north, the land of nuraghi and maquis, the brothers built up a philosophy that still applies today: rigorous vineyard work, respect for the terroir, no compromise on quality.

També comes from a different angle: from the Palau vineyard, right on the coast, with a view of the blue-green waters of the strait and Corsica on the horizon. Carignano grows here – complemented by other indigenous Sardinian varieties – as cordon cut and in the traditional Alberello, the Sardinian bush vine cultivation. The grapes are harvested in September, by hand and carefully selected. What follows is the opposite of extraction: the grapes are gently pressed immediately – vinification as white wine, no skin contact, no wood. Only steel, fermentation, bottling.

Delicate pink in the glass with coral reflections and nuances of rose petals. Intense and fresh on the nose: rose, violet, lemon balm, citrus jelly, redcurrant. Round on the palate, with a pleasant minerality and a salty flavour on the finish that tells of granite and the sea breeze. També – that's how it is. And it's very good. SUPERIORE.DE
