Description
What kind of wine it is
Lintori, produced by Capichera, is a still white wine that elegantly interprets Vermentino within the Vermentino di Sardegna denomination. In the glass, it presents an intense and fragrant bouquet, enriched with notes of lychee, pineapple, renetta apple and aromatic herbs. On the palate, it offers a fresh and savoury sip, characterised by citrus and mineral hints that lead to a pleasantly persistent finish, preserved by vinification solely in steel.
Where it comes from
The grapes come from the youngest vineyards of the estate in Arzachena, situated on soils formed from granite decomposition. These sandy and rocky soils, located between eighty and one hundred and twenty metres above sea level, give the wine a distinct mineral character. The name itself, which recalls the morning dew, reflects the desire to offer a straightforward territorial profile deeply connected to the Sardinian land.
How it is produced
The manual harvest takes place between late August and early September to preserve the integrity and freshness of the bunches. Fermentation and ageing occur exclusively in steel tanks, avoiding the use of barrels to enhance the aromatic purity of the Vermentino. The result is a white wine with a vibrant and linear sip, ideal to serve chilled alongside fish and shellfish dishes.
History and Curiosities
The name Lintóri evokes the morning dew, reflecting the intention to capture a fresh and direct territorial profile. This label historically originates from the young vineyards of the Capichera estate in Arzachena, whose roots delve into soils formed from the disintegration of granite.

Capichera's story began in the early 20th century, when the grandfather of today's owners inherited a farm of over 50 hectares, in what is now the municipality of Arzachena, in the extreme orth of Sardinia: an area already famed for its suitability for winegrowing. In those days the vineyards produced just enough wine for the family, who lived in the town of Arzachena but liked to spend Spring at the farm at Capichera.
In the Seventies, the father of today's owners planted new vineyards of Vermentino, the typical local grape variety, and built a modern winery for the production of high quality wines.
In 1980 the first wine was sold under the Capichera label, a Vermentino radically different from those already on the market: it was richer, more fragrant, smoother, and longer-lived than other, more important wines.
In the 1980s brothers Fabrizio and Mario began to work in the winery, and although very young, invested their energy in a difficult challenge: making Capichera a leader in top quality wine production.
Today Capichera is a young winery, with its own rich history of development in quantity, and above all quality, of experimentation, innovation and progressive improvement of the products and the production and management processes.
The original 10 hectares of vineyards have become 60 today and others are being planted; production is now around 300,000 bottles, and will increase by 80% over the next few years.
The vineyards belonging to the Capichera winery are of the highest quality possible in Sardinia; this land has been well-known for centuries for its agricultural potential, which has also been confirmed by laboratory analysis. The vines are the result of scrupulous selection in Capichera and in France, by selected nursery gardens working under the supervision of the winery's own experts. Capichera's Vermentino and Carignano vineyards are - and will remain - unparalleled in quality. Read more
