Capichera has an impressive reputation for producing top quality Vermentino and ranks amongst Sardinia’s finest producers of this light and refreshing style of white wine. The estate has been in the same family since the 19th century, but it was only in 1980 that they bottled their first Vermentino. Since then they have drawn critical acclaim from all over the globe for their wines, with one Italian wine journalist, Luigi Veronelli, describing their pioneering bold style as “a Mediterranean Montrachet”.
The name of this particular Vermentino, “Vign'Angena”, means “vineyard of others” in the local Gallura dialect since the grapes used to be sourced from vineyards not owned by the estate. Today these plots are owned by Capichera, giving them greater control over how they are managed.
This lively Vermentino is aged in stainless steel tanks to showcase the pure varietal character and preserve plenty of freshness and fruit. The light body and dynamic flavour profile with plenty of vibrant citrus and tropical fruit and bright streak of acidity makes this a great aperitif. It also pairs well with seafood, fish, and classic local dishes like fresh pasta served with seafood or even tuna tartare.

As someone who has been ordering wine online regularly (22 orders and dozens of bottles since 2022), I have long appreciated 8Wines for offering access to interesting international labels and boutique styles that aren’t always readily available locally. However, a platform's true character isn't revealed when everything goes right; it's tested when a high-value bottle arrives compromised, and that is where 8Wines falls remarkably short. Over the last few years, I’ve spent well over €3,500 with 8Wines. When you spend consistently on a platform, you expect a baseline of mutual trust, especially when purchasing premium bottles where structural integrity is everything. Unfortunately, encountering damaged or flawed bottles on two separate occasions has brought to light a rigid, customer-unfriendly claims policy. A bottle of Susana Balbo Signature Malbec arrived completely cooked and oxidized. Despite detailing the structural defects, the customer service team deflected responsibility, demanded unreasonable layers of proof, and ultimately offered reward points rather than issuing a proper refund or replacement. One year later, another bottle, this time a high-end wine - the Caymus California Cabernet Sauvignon arrived leaking in the box with visible stain traces under the capsule. Upon opening, the cork failure was undeniable, and the wine showed the distinct, flat overcooked notes of premature oxidation rather than its intended opulent fruit profile. Instead of acknowledging that cork failure and transport leakage, the 8Wines’ support team engaged in gaslighting. They attempted to lecture about the "jammy profile of the Wagner family." They argued that a leaking, stained bottle with a dry cork and premature oxidation was normal. Rather than standing behind the quality of their high-end stock, 8Wines offered a standard deflection playbook: no blame accepted, no refund given, and a small allocation of reward points thrown in as an appeasement. For a loyal customer who has spent thousands on the platform, being compensated with virtual points for a cooked, expensive wine is a disappointing resolution. Final Verdict 8Wines has an attractive catalogue and smooth shipping logistics when bottles survive the trip intact. But if you gamble on buying expensive, premium bottles here, be aware that you carry all the financial risk. If a cork fails or a bottle cooks in transit, don't expect a refund, expect a corporate email trying to convince you that flawed wine is just part of the "winemaker's style," followed by a handful of reward points to close the ticket, that if you insist upon, otherwise you will be left empty handed. Moving forward, I will reserve my purchases for everyday, lower-risk bottles, and buy any high-end, premium investments strictly from physical storefronts where visual inspection and immediate returns are actually honored.
