Formiga De Vellut is a wine with a cherry red colour, intense. It has a complex aroma, where red and black fruits stand out, combined with balsamic and spicy notes.
On the palate it is full and powerful, with a fleshy and velvety finish, where ripe and fresh tannins come to the fore.

Vinification
Manual selection of each organic grape variety. Fermentations of each variety take place separately, at 22 °C for 7 days.
Maceration is carried out at 28 °C and paste is separated from wine by soft pressing of the marc. Finally, we make the blend of different monovarietals and place the coupage in barrels.
