Capichera Vermentino di Gallura DOCG Tardiva

Vermentino di Sardegna, Italy

Sardinia's most complex and age-worthy Vermentino — late-harvested Vermentino di Gallura from ancient Gallura granite, fermented and aged in oak. Extraordinary depth: white peach jam, apricot, exotic spice, almond blossom, granite mineral, and a richness that transforms over 5-8 years in bottle. The wine that demonstrates Vermentino's ability to age and develop genuine complexity. One of Italy's most distinctive and underrated whites.

Pairing intelligence

• main: The most iconic Sardinian feast dish with the island's most complex white — the wine's apricot richness and almond depth bridges the succulent pig; myrtle's aromatic bitterness mirrors the wine's bitter almond finish; fennel bridges the Vermentino's herbal character
• cheese: The island's aged sheep cheese and its most complex white — Vermentino Tardiva's richness and almond depth bridges pecorino's sharp mineral tang; chestnut honey mirrors the wine's fruit; walnuts bridge the oak
