La Collina Dei Ciliegi Formiga Valpolicella Superiore DOC is an elegant and characterful red wine that captures the finesse and depth of Valpolicella at its most refined. Produced in the hills of Veneto by one of the region’s most quality-driven estates, Formiga represents a step above classic Valpolicella, offering greater structure, concentration, and complexity while retaining freshness and drinkability. Crafted from traditional Valpolicella grape varieties, this Superiore expression benefits from careful vineyard selection and extended ageing, resulting in a wine that balances ripe fruit with savoury nuance and polished tannins. It bridges the gap between everyday Valpolicella and the richness of Amarone, making it both versatile and distinctive.
Formiga is a modern Italian wine - Ideal with pasta dishes, roast meats, grilled vegetables, game, and aged cheeses.
