Raìca is the exciting new venture of Piedmont winemakers Eugenio Bocchino and Cinzia Pelazza who, after escaping to the warmer climes of Sardinia over the years, recently decided to purchase a small vineyard there to showcase the island’s indigenous Vermentino (white) and Pascale di Cagliari (red) grapes. The vineyards lie on the sand and schist slopes of the Limbara Peaks, the island’s highest elevations nestled in the Northeast province of Olbia on the Costa Smeralda. Grown only a few kilometers from the sea, the wines sing with a salinity that only proximity to the ocean can provide.
